Sammy Hagar addressed fans’ worries after sharing his recent struggles on Instagram.
“Okay, so my last Instagram post got me a lot of pity,” the singer said in the video. “People thought that I was down and out.”
He continued, “I was just mellow instead of being my ‘Woow’ the crazy self but I did get a really nice present. Someone from the Zager Guitars, Tim I think his name was. He sent me this guitar. It’s awesome. What a nice present. Thank you, Tim.”
In a new Instagram video, Sammy revealed that he’s been facing difficulties. This came after he had a disagreement with Alex Van Halen, leading some fans to speculate it was related.
“Hello everyone, I know you think my life is always perfect,” the Red Rocker noted. “I’ve had a tough couple of crazy days for a lot of different reasons but I just wanna say that sometimes the simplest things in life like this, a little glass of wine is all it takes to be happy. Hope you’re happy.”
Hagar mentioned he’s been experiencing a hard time but didn’t specify the reasons. In the comments, fans shared their concerns and supportive messages.
“Sending you Aloha a Mana (love and energy) brother. Thank you for this,” a fan said. “People forget that even one of the most famous RocknRollers, and Good Humans have off days! Salute brother.”
Another added, “Have a great day my Brother, we all have those days and keep your head up!” One more commented, “Awwww cheers brother. You know we all love and support you man. People like you make this world worth living. Peace up brother.”
Recently, Alex expressed that the other band members did not represent Van Halen well during Hagar’s Best of All Worlds Tour. Fans had strong reactions, with some criticizing Alex for his lack of involvement and others praising Hagar’s contributions and talent.
Later, in an interview with The Guardian, Alex criticized Sammy, stating that the band lost its spirit after David Lee Roth left. He ended his new book, ‘Brothers,’ in 1985, despite the band’s success with Hagar.
In response to Alex’s comments, Hagar shared an old interview clip with Alex on Instagram to demonstrate that he wasn’t being truthful. In the video, Alex praises Hagar’s singing and guitar skills.
