Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now NerdBot as News Editor. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

We are so heartbroken to share the news that legendary rock n’ roll guitar god Eddie Van Halen has lost his battle with throat cancer, and passed away.

TMZ broke the news, and their track record has been extremely on the money with reports of this nature.

Wolfgang Van Halen, son of Eddie and actress Valerie Bertinelli, posted about the news on his personal Twitter account as well.

Eddie of course co-founded Van Halen, and has remained one of the icons of the guitar world for many, many years.

He was 65.

Our thoughts go out to his family at this time.
