Sammy Hagar: A Tribute Concert To Eddie Van Halen Is A Must!

JAKARTA - When seikonic musician Eddie Van Halen died, it was difficult to find the right way to honor his legacy. However, Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony - two former Van Halen personnel - said they would participate in the tribute concert if it was held to celebrate the late guitar hero.

"This has to happen. Of course it will," Hagar told Q104.3 New York.

"Nothing really connects all the dots with everyone involved, but I have been told, and I have read interviews with the various people involved - with Wolfie [Van Halen] and Valerie [Bertinelli] and Eddie's wife whom he married. that time - they all said once this is over, we will gather everyone and pay tribute or whatever, "continued the vocalist Van Halen in the era of full album 5150 to Balance.

"Just a 'thank you', goodbye, farewell. And it's an absolute must. I don't care if it takes 10 years - it will happen," he continued. "And if we are there to do it, we will."

Meanwhile, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony also gave comments regarding the tribute concert for Eddie. In line with Hagar, he also considered the concert a must.

"We have to celebrate Eddie's music - so much good music (that he makes)," added Anthony.

While a tribute concert is quite possible and would be an honorable way to pay tribute to Eddie, don't expect Van Halen to tour again.

Wolfgang Van Halen has firmly dismissed rumors that he will continue with Van Halen and replace his father. Time and time again he stated that there was no Van Halen without Eddie Van Halen.
