WATCH HEREOver 20 years after the musician left — which also included the late and Michael Anthony at the time — he shared why he’s not on the best of terms with the band’s drummer.
“I think Al’s angry because I’m out doing it, Mike and I are out doing it and he can’t,” Hagar — who admitted he is no longer in contact with his former bandmate — told in an article published April 29. “He’s not a singer.

“How the f--- could they be angry about that?” Hagar argued. “They gave me the damn thing, they walked out on me, left me with it. They made me indemnify them in case I got sued and lost everything. They made me sign off big time. And I’m going, ‘I hope it’s not that.’”
Hagar noted that he made “hundreds of millions of dollars” for the rock band, and their former manager believes that may be the root of his issues with Van Halen. As he explained of Azoff's perspective, “Alex is angry about that.”
Van Halen, for his part, has alluded to preferring the version of the band that was led by vocalist — who sang from 1974 to 1985, and took over again in 2006. As the 71-year-old wrote in his memoir "Brothers," published in October, “What happened after Dave left is not the same band.”
