Hagar Fears The Worst About Van Halen’s Hall Of Fame Honour
Former VAN HALEN star SAMMY HAGAR fears the group’s newly announced induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame could be a big problem if he and his warring bandmates can’t decide what to perform.
The WHY CAN’T THIS BE LOVE singer replaced DAVID LEE ROTH in the rock group, and insists both frontmen should get the chance to perform – even though they’ve both fallen out with bandleader EDDIE VAN HALEN.
But he fears that Van Halen will pull the plug and opt not to perform at all.
He says, “The talk amongst us so far has been that we’re probably not going to play, because of the awkward situation.
“We’re not like mortal enemies or anything (but) there’s just some weird quirks.
“Van Halen has always been unpredictable, anything can happen. If we get to play two songs, I’ll be happy to sing one, and have Dave do the other one. I think that would be perfect.
“If there’s only one song, well, then that could be kinda interesting.”
Hall of Fame bosses will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last year’s induction controversies – punk icons the SEX PISTOLS refused to show up and the original members of BLONDIE bickered with singer DEBORAH HARRY over the chance to perform with her at the event.
