Alex Van Halen reveals Ozzy Osbourne was in talks to bring his signature wail to their band.
Former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the second time on Saturday.But decades after releasing that classic rocker on their self-titled debut, they were runnin’ with the Prince of Darkness himself,After stints by David Lee Roth , Sammy Hagar and Extreme’s Gary Cherone, the group was between frontmen circa 2001 when its namesake brothers, Eddie and Alex Van Halen , were in talks for Osbourne to bring his signature wail to VH.
. “It is something that if it had come to fruition, would have been phenomenal. Eddie and Alex were great friends of mine for a very long time and it’s a regret of mine that we never got it together.” “And the moment I said we gotta acknowledge Ed, Dave f – – kin’ popped a fuse … The vitriol that came out was unbelievable.” “To find a replacement for Ed? It’s just not the same,” Alex Van Halen said about his late brother Eddie.While the tour came to a bitter end between the bandmates, Alex — whose “Brothers” memoir, out Oct. 22, traces his journey with Eddie through the end of the original Van Halen lineup — is philosophical about it now.
