“Van Halen was the weirdest fuck I’d ever seen”, says Hagar
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 11 March 2011
One time Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar has recalled the day he met up with Eddie Van Halen back in 2004 to discuss possibly rejoining the band for a reunion tour. He seemingly went to Van Halen’s Malibu home and was shocked by what he found.
In a new biography, the rocker recalls: “It looked like vampires lived there. There were bottles and cans all over the place, the handle was broken off the refrigerator door, and there were spiderwebs everywhere. There was no food. He [Van Halen] was sleeping on the floor with a blanket and a pillow. I’ve never seen a dirtier place in my life. [Previously he had been] one of the sweetest guys I ever met but he had turned into the weirdest fuck I’d ever seen: crude, rude and unkempt”.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the reunion didn’t happen, though, of course, Van Halen did subsequently get his life back on track and reformed his band with original frontman David Lee Roth.
