Sammy Hagar, the iconic frontman, and Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony recently kicked off their much-anticipated “Best of All Worlds” tour. This collaboration, featuring guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, renowned drummer Kenny Aronoff, and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte, mainly showcased fan-favorite hits from the Van Halen catalog. Due to its overwhelming success, the group has already announced a Las Vegas residency at the Park MGM, set to begin in April 2025.

In light of so many musicians from his generation announcing their retirement, Hagar recently shared his own thoughts about his future with People. The 77-year-old rocker admitted that while the thought of retiring crosses his mind occasionally, especially after years of grueling tours, he isn’t ready to hang up his guitar just yet.

“I get insecure in between shows, in between tours, and I think, ‘Gee, do I still have it? Can I really still do all that?’ And I get out there, and it’s like it’s riding a bike,” Hagar confessed. “I’m going to retire when I can’t do this, when I can’t sing anymore. I’m not going to have people pay the kind of money that it costs to see these concerts these days and not deliver. So that’s where my retirement is. It’s in the hands of the higher being.”

Though retirement may be something he thinks about from time to time, it’s clear that for now, Hagar’s passion for performing remains strong. As long as he’s able to deliver his high-energy performances, fans can expect him to keep rocking for years to come.
