During the final night of their joint tour on March 29 at Le Zénith in Paris, France, Slash and Kennedy brought out Van Halen as a surprise guest for a rendition of the 1979 smash hit. Van Halen’s band Mammoth WVH had been serving as opening support for the rockers on their month-long run.
“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,” Kennedy said while introducing the musician to the stage.
The performance began with Slash playing the iconic ‘Highway to Hell’ riff with the rest of the band joining in. Bassist Todd Kearns provided lead vocals with both Kennedy and Van Halen joining in on the chorus. Van Halen also provided an electrifying guitar solo.
Earlier that night, Kennedy joined Mammoth WVH onstage for a rendition of the latter’s track ‘Take a Bow’.
