Sammy Hagar Discovers Real Biological Surname

by VHND — updated January 22, 2024 Leave a Comment

It’s The Red Rocker Sammy…..Belcher?

Sammy Hagar was a guest on the PBS series Finding Your Roots, which features DNA diagnosticians analyzing genetic code, tracing bloodlines and occasionally debunking beliefs. In the preview clip of the episode above, Hagar finds out that his DNA does not match any men with the last name Hagar, meaning that genetically, that is not his last name. After discovering that his DNA matches 27 men with the last name Belcher, Hagar was blown away.

“Get out of here. This is nutty as anything I’ve ever imagined,” Hagar said. “What a trip.”

The full episode will air Tomorrow (Jan. 23) at 8 p.m. ET on PBS.
