Sammy Hagar is showing nothing but support for his former bandmate David Lee Roth, who’s making a surprise return to the stage this July after announcing his retirement five years ago. Hagar, who’s been busy with his own residency in Las Vegas, had kind words for Roth’s comeback, saying, “I am happy that Dave is out there doing it like Mikey [Anthony] and I. Supporting some of the greatest rock songs in history… The fans deserve it, good or bad.” He emphasized the importance of keeping the music alive, especially the legacy he and Roth share with the late Eddie Van Halen.
While Roth is gearing up to hit the road, Hagar is wrapping up his own stint at the Dolby Live at Park MGM with just three shows left in his nine-date “Best of All Worlds Tour Stays in Vegas” residency. It’s a follow-up to last year’s tour, where Hagar pushed himself to the limit with 31 shows. “I just don't know if I can do it,” he admitted about touring again. “It's tough at my age to do all that traveling and play that long of a show… Without the travel, I’m hoping that at a residency it’s not so strenuous on me.”
Hagar revealed he’s been offered plenty of shows but has decided that touring is “off the table” for now. Still, he’s not ruling anything out completely. “I’m also an antsy kind of guy,” he said with a laugh. “So, we’ll see.”
