Jack White dedicated his "Saturday Night Live" musical performance to another fellow rocker: Eddie Van Halen.

In a touching tribute to the late Van Halen who died of cancer at 65 on Tuesday, "The White Stripes" frontman abandoned his own guitar to instead use a cobalt blue model designed by Van Halen for White himself while performing his song, "Lazaretto."

The show then featured a short clip of Van Halen's guitar performance in February 1987 on "Saturday Night Live." Host Bill Burr ended the show by saying "rest in peace, Eddie Van Halen."

Hours before his appearance, White, 45, teased that he would be using his "Saturday Night Live" performance to honor the musical legend, whom he described as "very kind."
