About this ebook
The former Van Halen front man recounts his life, from his childhood to his wild days in rock 'n' roll, in this one-of-a-kind memoir.
For almost forty years, Sammy Hagar has been a fixture in rock music. From breaking into the industry with the band Montrose to his multiplatinum solo career to his ride as the front man of Van Halen, Sammy's powerful and unforgettable voice has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems ever written—songs like "I Can't Drive 55," "Right Now," and "Why Can't This Be Love."
In Red, Sammy tells the outrageous story of his tear through rock 'n' roll. From the decadence of being one of the world's biggest rock stars to the unfiltered story of being forced out of Van Halen, Sammy's account spares no one, least of all himself. His is a tale of a true rock 'n' roller—someone who's spent decades bringing the party with wherever he goes but always headin' back to Cabo for más tequila.
Praise for Red
"There are tell-all books, and then there are tell-all books written by Sammy Hagar. The ex-Van Halen front man holds back nothing—and I mean absolutely nothing. . . . Red is jam-packed with great anecdotes . . . and other tidbits that take fans of music and pop culture to places they normally wouldn't get to go." — Associated Press

I met Sammy in Honolulu at a Home Depot. He was very down to earth, had no problem talking to me for a minute and took a couple of pictures. Very cool guy

Sammy has definitely put out an eye opening book of his life both personally and professionally. I can also relate to some of the things he wrote about. With this book, I have found a new respect for him as a person and artist.
