Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth have both been outspoken about their disdain for each other, but the former is taking the high road when it comes to the latter's newly launched solo tour.
Roth returned to the stage for the first time since 2020 on May 3 at the M3 Rock Festival with a set made up of entirely Van Halen songs, and Hagar is wrapping up his "Best of All Worlds" Las Vegas residency, which showcases his time in the band. Both of Van Halen's singers are performing at the same time sparked a debate on Instagram about who's doing it better, and the Red Rocker chimed in with his own thoughts.
"if I may add my two cents here comparing us today or comparing us in the old days really is not what it's all about," he wrote in the comments section. "It's all about Van Halen one of the greatest bands, some of the greatest songs in rock history."
"We were both involved and both had pluses and minuses," Hagar admitted. "I am happy that Dave is out there doing it like Mikey and I. Supporting some of the greatest rock songs in history like I said. The fans deserve it good or bad. I believe we're both doing our best and I'm actually happy. Dave is supporting his era and I will support mine as well as my solo career and side projects for the rest of my life. everyone should enjoy what we're both trying to do."
"Keeping the music alive at his legacy is important and so is the music both Dave and I wrote with eddie," the singer noted. "encore thank you. Good night."
