Sammy Hagar responds to David Lee Roth cancelling tour

Sammy Hagar has publicly reached out to former Van Halen bandmate David Lee Roth following the quiet cancellation of several upcoming tour dates. Roth, who has been on the road in North America since April, pulled six scheduled performances without providing an official explanation or public statement.

In a video posted to social media, Hagar shared a message of support. He expressed hope that the decision was not tied to any medical emergency or physical issue. Hagar and Michael Anthony, both former members of Van Halen, acknowledged their shared musical history while offering an invitation for Roth to join Hagar during his Las Vegas residency in September once he feels ready to return to the stage.

The cancelled tour schedule included stops in Dillon, Louisville, East Moline, Lincoln, and Laughlin. While these dates were removed from the official rotation, Roth is still currently listed to perform at the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis this August. Venues like the Dillon Amphitheater have confirmed that ticket holders will receive automatic refunds for the cancelled shows.

This gesture marks a rare moment of unity between the two musicians, who have maintained a history of public friction since their time in the band. Despite their differences, Hagar noted that he remains supportive of Roth as a performer and expressed his desire to see him back on stage when the time is right. The music community continues to wait for any further clarification from Roth regarding his status for the remainder of the summer.
