Eddie Van Halen's Son Wolfgang and Wife Andraia Allsop Attend the 2024 MusiCares Gala for the First Time Since David Lee Roth's Expletive-Filled Tirade Against Him

Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang and his wife Andraia Allsop stole the spotlight Friday at the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year gala in Los Angeles.

The 32-year-old musician looked like a rock star in his black jacket and matching ripped denim as he hit the red carpet at the official GRAMMY Week event held at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The bassist put his arm around Andraia – whom he married in October 2023 – inconspicuously in a pair of purple-tinted aviator glasses.

Andraia, meanwhile, stunned in a black cold-shoulder dress with a high slit down her thigh as Wolfgang gave her a hug.

The outing marks the first sighting of Wolfgang since Van Halen's singer David Lee Roth launched a profanity-filled tirade against him on his podcast “The Roth Show” on YouTube.

In a clip from his show posted to his Instagram page, the 69-year-old singer is heard launching into a tirade of abuse against Wolfgang, calling him “this damn boy” as well as a “schlemiel.” (fool in Yiddish) repeatedly.

Wolfgang played bass in Van Halen from 2007 to 2015 after replacing original bassist Michael Anthony. The 32-year-old singer is currently releasing music with his band Mammoth WVH.

The clip begins with a parody interview in which David interviews Jesus Christ and implies that his bandmate's son benefits from nepotism.

He also claims that Wolfgang spent time complaining about not paying attention to him while they were on tour together.

The singer said: 'This damn boy! He's been complaining the whole tour like I'm not paying enough attention to him on stage.

'I'm giving him the best, everything I've got, in front of 20-30,000 people at a clip, and he's complaining to everyone around me – the business manager, the security guy, the clothes lady – 'Dave isn't paying enough attention to me .”'

He then started saying that he invited “two ladies” to one of the band's shows in New York, but they were “stiff for tickets” and were allegedly thrown out by Wolfgang.

“What this damn boy doesn't know is that these two ladies work for the accounting firm that represents him, not me.

“But as usual, he, like his uncle and his uncle's brother, paid them for tickets.

'He's teaching me a lesson. What this damn kid doesn't know? They contribute the paychecks of all 82 people on the road crew.”

David went on to say that a similar incident had occurred during their concert in Los Angeles, which was also notably his last performance with Eddie.

“We're at the Hollywood Bowl, I'm about to launch 'Ice Cream Man,' and this damn kid. He commands two muscular monkeys and locates the only lady who is my guest. She's backstage at the Hollywood Bowl.

“They find her, make her take the shameless walk past all the other guests, into the parking lot and throw her out of the building.”

“Wolfie Van Halen is going to teach me a lesson by throwing away something he thinks is my girlfriend. But guess what? Not only is this another accountant, and not only does she have the paychecks for 82 of us on the road, but she also has cash bonuses for everyone there.”

He noted that the woman was the same “lady” who had been thrown out in New York.

But fans of the legendary band have criticized David's comments, calling them “bad taste” and also calling him “sour grapes.”

One user wrote: 'I'm a big fan of VH and Dave, but this is in poor taste, dude! “The Kid” didn't throw you under the bus and I'm sure it would be very easy to do… Stay classy Dave.

While another user wrote: 'If it wasn't for Wolfgang, DLR wouldn't have had the last few tours with VH and if it wasn't for EVH we wouldn't even know who DLR is.'

One user also noted the Van Halen family's contribution to music, saying, “The reality is that Wolfie is a third-generation professional musician. Performed all instruments on the album as well as all vocals. Earned his stripes supporting an entire concert tour while most of the kids were playing Xbox and trying to pass French class. The Van Halens have always let the music do the talking…'

Another user commented on Wolfgang's success: 'Last I heard he's the one touring stadiums and headlining his own tours. He is the one who is also responsible for giving you a second wind. Get over yourself. You are sour grapes, and you will never be as important as his father. Clown.'

The band was founded in the late 1960s and early 1970s by brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen, with David joining in 1973.

David left and returned to the band several times over the years and had constant problems with Wolfgang's father, Eddie.

In a 2021 Billboard interview, Wolfgang had addressed people's accusations of criticism and nepotism against him.

“With the name or just the parents I have, people assume I'm an unmotivated person who's just comfortable doing nothing and building on what's come before with what my name implies. And I'm anything but that.'

Eddie passed away in October 2020. He had been battling throat cancer for more than a decade.
