Black Sabbath 's farewell show will take place on July 5th at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, England. Wolfgang Van Halen , son of Eddie Van Halen and guitarist for Mammoth, was on the guest list to participate in the event. However, he revealed in an interview with 101 Wrif that he will not be able to attend.
In the conversation, Wolfgang admits the reason that led him to stay out: " Creed [which has Mammoth as support] starts the next day [July 6th]."
Although the musician is no longer in the lineup for the Sabbath show, he participated in Ozzy's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .
Speaking to Loudwire Nights , Wolfgang says his family is “connected” and that he’s known Ozzy “for a long time.” “It was a crazy honor to be there for the Hall of Fame and also for this [farewell show].”
Even if the musician doesn't participate in the Birmingham event, the show still features several giants. The list includes Metallica , Guns N' Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Tool, Gojira, among other big names. Solo artists will also be present, such as Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Sammy Hagar, and Papa V Perpetua (Ghost) .
