Wolfgang Van Halen was introduced as a part of the unique lineup for the upcoming “Again to the Starting” live performance that includes the ultimate performances of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.

In an interview with the radio station WRIF Detroit, Wolfgang defined, “I, sadly, needed to again out as a result of the Creed tour begins the day after, and I wouldn’t be capable of pull it off — sadly. I’m very excited to look at it, however I sadly needed to again out.”

Wolfgang was then requested who of Ozzy’s guitarists is his favourite, and responded, “I’m actually dangerous at selecting, ’trigger that just about implies you don’t like one other one as compared. And I really feel like Randy [Rhoads] was wonderful, however you may’t not give cred to [Black Sabbath’s] Tony [Iommi] being the legend and groundbreaking style creator he was — and is. So I really like ’em all. That’s not the reply you wanna hear.”
Whereas Wolfgang gained’t be there, the “Again to the Starting” live performance will characteristic a who’s who of rock and steel acts, together with Metallica, Weapons N’ Roses, Software, Pantera, Slayer, Mastodon, Gojira, and extra.
