“VetsAid 2022 in Columbus will be a memory that my family and I will cherish forever and I am grateful to the bands that participated, Nationwide Arena and our friends at Ohio State; Ohio is and will always be my home that I hope I can continue to make proud,” Walsh said in a statement.
Walsh said his happiest childhood memories came when he lived in Columbus as a child when his stepfather took a job with Nationwide Insurance. Before the show, the Rock and Roll hall of famer was honored on the corner of Front Street and Nationwide Boulevard with a ceremonial street naming.
