SAMMY HAGAR (CHICKENFOOT, ex-VAN HALEN) has issued the following update:

"What an amazing year this has been! Let's review, Chickenfoot in Cabo and Tahoe, AEROSMITH this summer, and a very very memorable Birthday Bash. Were the Wabos rockin' or what? Thanks to all of you for coming to this endless party.

As this year comes to a close I realize how many great great things I'm already looking forward to next year. I am buzzed about my book coming out in March, I worked on it all of last year but I have really worked on it for my whole life - if you can call that work. And we are trying hard on getting the new movie finished up so I can share it with all of you ASAP.

So many great things and all in the first few months of the year!

Oh yeah, I also want to raise a lot of money for kids this year and have a couple of crazy ideas on how to do it, with your help of course. Would any of you like to come to San Francisco and go into my studio and produce a record with me and the Wabos? Just asking.....

I'm raising a glass to all of you right now, I hope you have a fantastic New Year.

And here's a special thanks to all you designated drivers."

Hagar's autobiography RED: My Uncensored Life In Rock is set for release on Saturday, March 12th through HarperCollins.
