SAMMY HAGAR Says He 'Encourages' VAN HALEN Reunion With ROTH; Video Available

March 14, 2007

A video clip of Sammy Hagar commenting on the fact that he and Michael Anthony were not included on VAN HALEN's planned summer tour with David Lee Roth, filmed by the AP backstage at Monday's (March 12) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in New York City, has been posted online at YouTube.com. "I totally encourage the thing with Dave," Hagar said. "If VAN HALEN has any move they should do for the fans right now, it's to do a reunion with Dave." Added Anthony of the absent Roth, "I was waiting for him to come busting through at some point during the speech."

"If we all grew up, including me, maybe all of us could do it together," Hagar said of future VAN HALEN touring. "I'm down with that." He added, "I planned on taking this year off and just hanging with my family. I haven't done that for a long time. [But] I will tour from my birthday in October through next year."
