“We’re honoured that we’ve been able to tour with this next gentleman and his band, ‘cause I think he’s one of the most talented people on the planet,” said Kennedy as he introduced Wolfgang on stage.
The electrifying performance ignited with Slash leading the charge, rocking out to the iconic Highway to Hell riff. Bassist Todd Kearns took the lead on vocals, backed up by both Kennedy and Van Halen during the song’s chorus. Fans also bore witness to a blistering solo from Wolfgang on the AC/DC track.

“I would really love to collaborate with my really good friend – he sings for Alter Bridge and for Slash – Myles Kennedy,” Van Halen told Chris Difford on his podcast, I Never Thought It Would Happen. “I think he is a wonderful human being and an incredibly talented singer and guitar player. I would jump at an opportunity to collaborate with him.”
