Sammy Hagar Fires Back at Alex Van Halen: ‘You Act Like There Never Was a Van Hagar’
Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Alex Van Halen has consistently avoided mentioning Sammy Hagar in his memoir and recently called Hagar "a complete idiot" in an interview, escalating tensions between the former bandmates.
- Sammy Hagar responded by highlighting the successful "Van Hagar" era, accusing Alex of erasing that chapter from the band's legacy and urging him to openly address their issues.
- Hagar speculates Alex's resentment may stem from the success of Hagar's Cabo Wabo tequila brand and frustration over Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony continuing to tour performing Van Halen classics.
- Despite the acrimony, Hagar expresses willingness to reconcile if Alex Van Halen reaches out, emphasizing his enduring affection for his former bandmate.
- Meanwhile, David Lee Roth has reunited publicly with Alex Van Halen for a TED Talk, but a similar reconciliation with Hagar seems unlikely at this time.
