Sammy Hagar claims there’s no feud between him and David Lee Roth. Hagar, who’s currently playing a new Las Vegas residency with the Circle, spoke about his former band to local radio station KKLZ, and admitted prior to Eddie Van Halen‘s death last year — he and the legendary guitarist were hoping all past and current members of Van Halen would join forces for a massive “kitchen sink” tour.
Out now is Sammy Hagar & The Circle’s “Lockdown Sessions” album titled, Lockdown 2020, which features all the tunes the band recorded in quarantine and posted online since the pandemic hit.
