The show must go on, pandemic be damned!
While chatting with Rolling Stone about the effect that the coronavirus pandemic has had on the music industry, Sammy Hagar said he'd rather die than not play in front of fans again.

"I'll be comfortable playing a show before there's a vaccine, if it's declining and seems to be going away," the 72-year-old rocker said. "I'm going to make a radical statement here. This is hard to say without stirring somebody up, but truthfully, I'd rather personally get sick and even die, if that's what it takes."
To date, nearly 500,000 people have lost their lives from complications due to COVID-19, and more than 9 million people worldwide have been infected with the disease.
Sammy wants people to go back to work, he said, adding that the virus is "going to kill more people in the long run."

The former Van Halen rocker even noted that he's fine being a sacrificial lamb for the common good.
"If some of us have to sacrifice on that, OK," Sammy said. "I will die for my children and my grandchildren to have a life anywhere close to the life that I had in this wonderful country. That's just the way that I feel about it."
"I'm not going to go around spreading the disease," he continued. "But there may be a time where we have to sacrifice. I mean, how many people die on the Earth every day? I have no idea. I'm sorry to say it, but we all gotta die, man."
