Sammy Hagar

Solo star and former Van Halen vocalist Sammy Hagar returned to the Stern Show, eager not only to bend Howard’s ear with wild tales from the heyday of hard rock but also to announce the creation of a brand-new supergroup featuring longtime bassist Michael Anthony, second-generation drum legend Jason Bonham, and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani. The ferocious foursome – who next year will embark on a “Best of All Worlds Tour” — performed publicly for the first time in Howard’s studio, playing classic Van Halen tunes like “Right Now” and “5150” while also celebrating the music of trailblazers ranging from Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin to Anthony and Hagar’s former bandmate Eddie Van Halen, who passed away in 2020 after a long battle with cancer.
