VAN HALEN: Video Footage From ROCK HALL Induction Posted Online

March 19, 2007

Sammy Hagar's web site has been updated with video footage from this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which took place on March 12 at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel ballroom.

Only Hagar and ex-bass player Michael Anthony turned up for the VAN HALEN induction. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen had just gone into rehab and original lead singer David Lee Roth stayed away in a tiff over what he would perform.

Hagar said he wished his bandmates could be there, but "it's out of our control."

Hagar and Anthony joined bandleader Paul Shaffer to sing "Why Can't This Be Love".

Check out the video footage (Quicktime required):
