The 29-year-old bassist said in his statement on the radio show, “You can't have Van Halen without Eddie Van Halen. I'm not Dad. I'm not going to replace him. I've spent my life making sure I'm not like him and that I'm my own person. My dad would be pissed off. He'd be like, 'What the f— are you doing? Go do your s—!”.

Wolfgang said that an official reunion of the band will never happen. However, he hinted that a tribute show might take place ‘down the line’. He further spoke about how he is trying to come to terms with the passing of his father, and so should the fans of the band. He said, “I think the fans can try and come to terms with and figure out how to deal with the fact that we're not going to have Van Halen anymore. The music is going to live on forever, but you can't continue without Eddie Van Halen."
