SAMMY HAGAR Interviewed At New Jersey Book Signing (Video)

March 19, 2011

Legendary rocker Sammy Hagar signed copies of his autobiography, "Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock", this past Tuesday (March 15) at Bookends in Ridgewood, New Jersey. An eight-minute video report from the latest edition of "Box Of Rock" on WDHA-FM 105.5 FM — the rock music station licensed to Dover and Morristown, New Jersey — can now be viewed below.

"Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock" was released on March 15 via It Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.

Hagar provides readers with incredible behind-the-scenes stories from his multi-platinum career, including his rise as a solo artist and his eleven years with VAN HALEN, after the controversial departure of original lead vocalist David Lee Roth. During Hagar's time with VAN HALEN, the band released four consecutive No. 1 albums. From worldwide stadium concerts tours to private jets, Hagar enjoyed the trappings of fame and success with VAN HALEN until he was, as he puts it, "unceremoniously fired." Hagar later thrived as a solo act, leading his band, the CABO WABOS, before returning triumphantly to VAN HALEN for an historic reunion tour after which he set off on his own once again.

Honest and compelling, Hagar's account spares no one, least of all himself. Hagar's autobiography reveals the inside story of one of rock music's most recognizable voices, from his humble beginnings in the town of Fontana, California, to his incredible business success with Cabo Wabo Tequila and the Cabo Wabo Cantinas. The book was co-authored by Joel Selvin, longtime pop music writer for the San Francisco Chronicle.
