Former Van Halen vocalist, Sammy Hagar, is getting the wheels in motion for his 2026 jaunt through America. It's a continuation of the "Best of Both Worlds" tour.

I was lucky enough to see Van Halen with Sammy a couple of times. The first time was in Albany, on the Balance tour. Although Eddie Van Halen nicknamed it the 'Ambulance' tour because he recently had hip surgery, and drummer Alex Van Halen was wearing a neck brace for most of the tour due to rupturing three vertebrae in his neck. Those issues didn't slow the boys down as they put on an amazing performance that night. In my opinion, it was a much better show than the second time I saw them with Sammy in 2004 in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Eddie just seemed off that night belive it or not. Something tells me he may have been drinking.
