Sammy Hagar Addresses Van Halen Reunion Rumors

Former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar made
a very un-Van Halen like move on Friday and actually responded to rumors
that he was going to reunite with his former band. He also took the opportunity
to update fans on what he has planed in the coming weeks.
Hagar posted an update to his official
website, RedRocker.com and addressed the reunion rumors and where his current
relationship with the Van Halen camp actually stands.
Here is Sammy’s message: A couple of months
ago I called Alex out of the blue because we had run into a mutual friend
and both of us said to tell each other "hello". So I said, "I am going
to call him" and we talked. Alex said "Hey, next time you are down here
call me and we’ll have dinner or lunch or something." So a few weeks ago
I was in L.A. I called Al, we had lunch, spent the whole day together.
It was great. Reconnecting as friends. That was the end of it. A couple
weeks later I talked to Ed on the phone, and a few times since then. It’s
like old times as friends but nothing more than that. It’s great to have
open communications with some old friends again, much better than being
in a maze. If anything develops more from that when the time is right,
I will keep you posted.
Meanwhile, upcoming tour dates you need
to know:
December 22, Red or The Second Annual Red

Hagar & the Waborita's, Bob Weir and Friends, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh,
