Van Halen s sixth studio album, 1984, celebrated its 40th anniversary in January and Hagar has nothing but good things to say about it.
“I was a huge fan of that record,” Hagar tells ABC Audio, noting it made him realize Eddie Van Halen was a "genius."
Sammy was particularly impressed by Eddie’s synthesizer work on “Jump,” Van Halen s only #1 single, sharing, "You know, Eddie, I just I fell in love with Eddie with that."

Disney/Randy HolmesLenny Kravitz was honored Sunday night with the Music Icon Award at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards.Kravitz talked about how when he first started out people offered him big deals but only if he changed his music, sharing he turned them down because he couldn’t do something “inauthentic.” "An icon, to me, is someone who inspires and teaches others to believe in themselves, and their direction, whatever that direction is," he said. "It s never been about how many records I sell, or how many awards I win. It s not about trying to write hits, or being calculated or formulaic.”He added, "It s about enjoying and being grateful for the journey, and using the gifts that God gave you, and that journey goes how it goes. And it will continue, because I m just doing me."After thanking his parents, Roxie Roker and Sy Kravitz, Lenny shared, “Music is about bringing us all together. And the whole reason I cre
