In the clip below, vocalist / guitarist Sammy Hagar discusses his life and 50 years in rock 'n' roll with Great Day Houston.
For the last four decades, former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar has been one of rock music's most dynamic and prolific artists. From breaking into the industry with the seminal hard rock band Montrose to his multiplatinum solo career to his ride as the frontman of Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and his latest supergroup The Circle, Hagar has amassed 25 Platinum albums on sales surpassing 50 million worldwide.
Along his journey, he has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems ever written with songs like "I Can't Drive 55" "Right Now" and "Why Can't This Be Love" and earned the highest respect of the music industry with a Grammy Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hagar is also a dedicated philanthropist, two-time New York Times best-selling author, and auspicious entrepreneur.
