Sammy Hagar‘s big Best of All Worlds Tour last year might have been the last chance for his fans to see him in their towns.
Hagar told the Miami Herald, “I don’t think I want to go on tour anymore. I hate to say that, because I don’t want to piss my fans off.”
And that’s why the 77-year-old is looking forward to his Las Vegas residency this spring at Dolby Live at Park MGM. “I’ll go out and do a one-off show and do things like that, but the residency is going to give me a good extension of my career. That’s what I’m hoping for.”
Hagar added, “With this, I don’t have to travel, I don’t have to unpack and pack and get on an airplane every day,” You know, at my age, it hurts my shoulders to do all this. And I have to perform. I’m a performer, at the end of the day.”
The Vegas residency is nine shows that run from April 30th to May 17th. Hagar will be joined at the shows by Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Kenny Aronoff.
