Chad Kroeger recently came to the rescue of Sammy Hagar after Hagar ran into trouble with his jet.
Hagar shared a video of himself and Kroeger on the jet, writing in the Instagram caption, “I love my Rockstar friends. Chad, thanks for the ride, buddy.”
In the video, Kroeger explained the situation, “So, I’m down to Cabo and I’m cruising down the highway. It’s time for me to head home. And I see someone there with their thumbstick out. Next thing I know, I got a hitchhiker.”
A fan commented, “The Canadian way always helping out,” to which Hagar responded, “I’m not taking this post lightly. You’re 100% right. This caused Chad a few hours delay for his flight home and we were both pretty beat up from the Cabo Wabo lifestyle fun fun, fun but I know people that would not have done this for even a friend. Chad f*cking rocks. And Canadians got soul.”
Hagar and Kroeger have teamed up on several occasions in the past. In 2021, they collaborated with Afghan child musicians, Miraculous Love Kids and Girl With a Guitar, for a cover of Steve Miller’s ‘Fly Like an Eagle.’ A video showed the girls playing guitar and singing, joined remotely by Hagar.
“I’m proud of what you’re doing,” Hagar said at the time. “Stay strong and fly like an eagle…” The girls dedicated the song to nearly 100 Afghan girls killed in a Kabul school bombing.
In 2017, Hagar invited Kroeger, along with Toby Keith, Darryl McDaniels, Bob Weir, Jerry Cantrell, and Eddie Money, to his four-day birthday party in Cabo San Lucas. The event was featured in the one-night-only film, ‘Red Til I’m Dead: Sammy Hagar’s Rock-N-Roll Birthday Party.’
Hagar’s bandmates from the Circle, including Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham, and Vic Johnson, also appeared in the film, along with Pantera’s Vinnie Paul.
