Rock legend Sammy Hagar discussed his future in music during a recent interview with Audacy Music. The former Van Halen frontman outlined his commitment to fans and his perspective on retirement.
“I have to go ’till the end. I’ve made this commitment to my fans,” Hagar stated. “I’ve taken them on a journey and asked them to accept me as who I am. They follow me around the world. I can’t drop them off someplace. I’m going as long as I can.”
“But trust me, the day I stand on stage and can’t sing and can’t perform the way I need to then I will have to quit,” he continued. “I won’t quit but I may be forced to quit someday.”
