WOLFGANG VAN HALEN’s MAMMOTH Pays Tribute To OZZY OSBOURNE With Cover Of ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home’

Wolfgang Van Halen‘s MAMMOTH (formerly known as MAMMOTH WVH) performed a cover of Ozzy Osbourne‘s classic ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home” during MAMMOTH‘s concert last night (Tuesday, July 22) in Hartford, Connecticut as a tribute to the legendary BLACK SABBATH singer, who died earlier in the day at the age of 76.
Prior to launching into the song, Wolfgang addressed the crowd at XFINITY Theatre — where MAMMOTH was performing as the support act for CREED and DAUGHTRY — saying: “That fucking sucks that we are in a world that doesn’t have Ozzy Osbourne anymore. And it was right before we went on soundcheck that we found out. And I thought, ‘Well, we have to do something. Just mentioning it isn’t enough.’ We’ve played through this maybe three times, so please bear with us and sing the fuck along with us.”
Wolfgang — son of legendary VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen — was originally supposed to take part in BLACK SABBATH‘s special “Back To The Beginning” final concert on July 5 at Birmingham, United Kingdom’s Villa Park but had to back out of the event weeks earlier because of his preparations for MAMMOTH‘s tour with CREED.
