In his upcoming tour, Sammy Hagar will have a segment paying tribute to Van Halen.
Titled the Best of Both Worlds, the tour is set to begin on July 13 with special guest Loverboy. Hagar will have Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham, and Joe Satriani as band members on the tour. Many of the dates are in outdoor venues.
Hagar spoke on the tour saying, “it’s crazy to think that it’ll be 20 years since Mikey and I played these songs with Van Halen on the 04′ Best of Both Worlds Tour. With Joe on board, we can take a deeper dive into those years. We’re going to touch on some hits from my entire career but seeing fans old and new really embrace the new collection set off something in Mikey and I.”
He added, “we were at my Birthday Bash in Cabo for my 76th and looked at each other and high fived, like ‘let’s do it.’ We pulled out a couple of them and it was an instant lovefest with the fans from our first riffs. The music we created is going to outlive us all. They deserve to be heard so it’s time we go out and serve the fans that music, while we still can.”
