He was a freak but a talented little freak.
Put out some fantastic music in his time, in his genre. No doubt about it.

Great song. They have a lot of good ones.

Georges Seurat at age 31
.
Vincent Van Gogh at age 37
.
Aideo Modigliani at age 35

I hadn't noticed that Gsquared beat me to it when I posted my comment, but that's okay, cause after all, great minds think alike.
I'm glad that you mentioned Seurat, Modigliani and Pollock, all very important artists who went way too young.
RIP Eddie Van Halen.
