What to expect from Sammy Hagar’s performance at Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell concert

Hagar also mentioned that he might play one of his own songs from his early days with Montrose, adding a personal element to his setlist. In interviews, he expressed excitement about participating and revealed he’s been immersing himself in Ozzy’s music to capture the unique phrasing and energy Ozzy is known for. Fans can expect a powerful and heartfelt tribute performance.
