If you can believe Sammy Hagar, there was no more evil blood between him and Eddie van Halen before his death. In a letter to radio legend Howard Stern, the musician said: “I would like to tell that Eddie and I have been writing together again and again since the beginning of the year and have not left anything but love for each other since then.”
On October 7, 2020, Stern read a letter from the former van-Halen singer Sammy Hagar on October 7, 2020. In fact, the once disputed musicians had decided to keep their reconciliation secret from the public. “We want to prevent rumors of a possible reunion from making the round and both knew that this would inevitably happen,” said Hagar.

Furthermore, Van Halen wanted to avoid the public of experiencing his health. “About a month ago he suddenly heard to answer me,” recalls Hagar, “I thought that it couldn’t be good. I tried a few more times last week to reach him and when he did not answer again, I knew that it was only a matter of time. Nevertheless, it happened much too quickly.”

The situation became more and more peaked over the years and reached its climax when Van Halen claimed in an interview in 2015 that he had to teach ex-van-neck bass players Michael Anthony the same bass lines before every tour. “Michael Anthony is a Bad Motherfucker”, Hagar realized at the time About the claims of the guitar icon, “F *** yourself, Eddie van Halen, for saying something about Mikey. You are a liar!”
