Sammy Hagar has offered David Lee Roth a guest spot at his upcoming Las Vegas residency after most of Roth’s remaining U.S. tour dates disappeared from his official schedule. In a recent video message, Hagar expressed concern for Roth and said he hoped the cancellations were not connected to a health problem.
The public invitation included several possibilities. Hagar suggested that Roth could sing a few songs, introduce the show, or simply join the celebration. He also praised Roth for continuing to perform Van Halen material and helping keep the band’s music in front of longtime fans.
The gesture is notable because the two singers have shared a complicated relationship for decades. Roth fronted Van Halen during the band’s original rise, while Hagar joined after Roth’s departure in 1985. Their disagreements continued even when they toured together in 2002.
Hagar’s September residency features former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony alongside guitarist Joe Satriani, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte. Roth has not publicly responded to the invitation.
