And, yeah, I\u2019m really sorry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s fucked up. Supporting what we did in this band to keep this music alive.

Come on, join us,\u201d Hagar said. \u201cSing a couple songs, MC the damn show. Come out and just do what the fuck you do \u2013 which is pretty damn entertaining! Anyway, hope you\u2019re well. I really do. God bless, brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Hagar took part in <em>NME\u2019s<\/em> Does Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Kill Braincells?! quiz, and was asked if there was any chance of touring in some form with \u00a0the surviving members of Van Halen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. I don\u2019t have any hope to play with Alex. When you sell all your equipment and are walking around on crutches, you\u2019re not going to tour,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cAnd Dave, I could care less. I\u2019ve no problem with Dave, but I wouldn\u2019t want to tour with him again. We did it in 2002, and he was miserable. He\u2019s no fun. He\u2019s not what he appears to be, he\u2019s always playing mind games. Needless to say, we\u2019ve all heard that he\u2019s struggling with his voice, and I wouldn\u2019t want to bring him out with the ticket price it would be and have to apologise to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy with my \u2018Best of All Worlds Band\u2019. I\u2019ve got guitarist Joe Satriani, who is as close to Eddie as you\u2019re going to get, and [longtime Van Halen bassist] Michael Anthony who is as much a part of Van Halen\u2019s sound as anybody, and the legendary drummer Kenny Aronoff.

Roth\u2019s camp have not yet shared the reason behind the cancellation, but many have speculated sluggish ticket sales could have been a factor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad0 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisement<\/span>  <\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-article-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Van Halen\u2019s other former frontman, and Roth\u2019s longtime rival, Hagar, reacted to the news with an earnest video message posted to social media.\u00a0\u201cI just got a call from Michael Anthony about your tour getting canceled, and I wanna say from the bottom of my heart, I\u2019m sorry,\u201d Hagar said in the video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope you\u2019re well. I hope there\u2019s not a physical problem. Honestly, Mike and I love the fact that you\u2019ve been out there doing it, supporting the greatest band in the world that we were both part of. And, yeah, I\u2019m really sorry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s fucked up. Supporting what we did in this band to keep this music alive. You and I, Mikey, Al, Ed cannot be replaced, so, when you\u2019re ready to carry on, you go, brother. Mike and I support you.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">i&#8217;m looking rough, but who cares I&#8217;m serious with this post.

It is so important that this music carry on especially with the AI music out there. those of us that can still go out\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/UYiX5OqwvW<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sammy Hagar (@sammyhagar) July 24, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hagar then said something incredibly unexpected, and invited Roth to join him at his upcoming \u2018Sammy Hagar: The Best of All Worlds\u2019 Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cCome to Vegas for the residency in September. Come on, join us,\u201d Hagar said. \u201cSing a couple songs, MC the damn show. Come out and just do what the fuck you do \u2013 which is pretty damn entertaining! Anyway, hope you\u2019re well. I really do. God bless, brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Hagar took part in <em>NME\u2019s<\/em> Does Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Kill Braincells?! quiz, and was asked if there was any chance of touring in some form with \u00a0the surviving members of Van Halen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. I don\u2019t have any hope to play with Alex. When you sell all your equipment and are walking around on crutches, you\u2019re not going to tour,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cAnd Dave, I could care less. I\u2019ve no problem with Dave, but I wouldn\u2019t want to tour with him again. We did it in 2002, and he was miserable. He\u2019s no fun. He\u2019s not what he appears to be, he\u2019s always playing mind games. Needless to say, we\u2019ve all heard that he\u2019s struggling with his voice, and I wouldn\u2019t want to bring him out with the ticket price it would be and have to apologise to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy with my \u2018Best of All Worlds Band\u2019. I\u2019ve got guitarist Joe Satriani, who is as close to Eddie as you\u2019re going to get, and [longtime Van Halen bassist] Michael Anthony who is as much a part of Van Halen\u2019s sound as anybody, and the legendary drummer Kenny Aronoff. This is the best band I\u2019ve been in since Van Halen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/sammy-hagar-invites-david-lee-roth-to-join-his-vegas-residency-after-tour-cancellations-3959038&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/live-david-lee-roth.jpg&#8221;] NewsMusic News Sammy Hagar invites David Lee Roth to join his Vegas residency after tour cancellations &#8220;Come out and just do what the fuck you do \u2013 which is pretty damn entertaining!&#8221; By Poppy Burton 26th July 2026 David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar.
