Hey, Sammy here. Earlier in the week Rolling Stone ran a compilation piece from their Quarantine Q&A series. I did that interview a month and a half ago, things change very fast right now, so I wanted to clarify and put a few things into context now.

I was asked by my local hometown high school to film a message to the Class of 2020. I would like to share it with all 2020 graduates across the country. Congratulations!

As if we don’t already have enough problems with COVID-19. #StopTheViolence #StopPrejudice #ComeTogether #DontHate #Peace #StayTheFuckHome

The Sammy Hagar & The Circle Summer 2020 Tour has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We want our fans to know that ticket holders will be emailed directly from the ticketing company with their refund options, including a full refund, so please look out for their communication in the coming days.

We're disappointed that the current situation has forced us to make this call but our top priority is the health and safety of our entire CIRCLE which extends from the band to our touring family to the venue staff at every show and especially to our fans.

Look who’s 19 today! Happy birthday to my youngest and namesake daughter Samantha.

Having been locked down for the last 14 days with you has been such a blast. Mom and I would be going crazy without you being here with us. I love this picture from a couple days ago and I love you! ❤️ Dad #happybirthday #likefatherlikedaughter #19 #daddysgirl

The sooner we follow the guidelines, the sooner we can get back to what we do - ROCK ’N’ ROLL! Please take this seriously. #CoronaVirus #ByTheRules #StaySafe #14DayLockDown

This event was phenomenal! What an honor to sing a very special Neil Diamond song in front of the man himself for such a great cause as Keep Memory Alive's "Power of Love" gala event.

What a night, what a cause, what a town! #VivaLasVegas

PS Greg Phillinganes and his musicians rocked the house!

I had a long wonderfully soulful day yesterday. The Eddie Money celebration was like a class reunion from the Bay Area, with a couple imports from out of town. Lori Money asked me to sing “Shakin'” which is such a fun great song to sing. She also asked if I would make a Rock ‘n’ Roll Road Trip episode out of the celebration, which we did! I can’t wait to put all those magical moments together, but I don’t see how I will get it all into one episode... it will probably take 2!

This year’s MusiCares Person of the Year event was like a class reunion for me. A lot of the bands I started with back with Montrose were there: Aerosmith, REO Speedwagon, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick. It seems like I knew everyone there and we damn near got all caught up in a big backstage hang!!
