“I will not take this to my grave": Sammy Hagar puts an olive branch out to Alex Van Halen

(L-R) Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen, Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony.

Sammy Hagar has said that he wants to rekindle his friendship with Alex Van Halen, saying: "It's on my bucket list that I will not take this to my grave."

The singer who fronted Van Halen for two spells, from 1985 to 1996 and again between 2003 and 2005, hasn’t had a great relationship with the drummer for a while. The pair have reportedly not spoken for years. To compound this, Alex’s newly-published book Brothers barely mentions Hagar. He ends the narrative in 1984 and has even said that the essence of Van Halen died when Hagar’s predecessor, David Lee Roth quit the following year.
