Sammy Hagar chimed in on the fact that both he and David Lee Roth are touring this summer, performing Van Halen songs. He posted the following comment on Instagram (we have edited the grammar for clarity):
“If I may add my two cents here. Comparing us today or comparing us in the old days really is not what it’s all about. It’s all about Van Halen, one of the greatest bands, and some of the greatest songs in rock history.
“We were both involved and both had pluses and minuses. I am happy that Dave is out there doing it like Mikey and I, supporting some of the greatest rock songs in history, like I said. The fans deserve it, good or bad.
“I believe we’re both doing our best, and I am actually happy. Dave is supporting his era, and I will support mine and my solo career and side projects for the rest of my life. Everyone should enjoy what we’re both trying to do, keeping the music alive. Legacy is important. And so is the music both Dave and I wrote with Eddie.”
It’s great to see Sammy pointing out the positives. We fans are very lucky that both of them are still out there performing. Life is short. So, if you can, grab tickets for both Hagar and Roth this summer, and celebrate the music and legacy of Van Halen!
