SAMMY HAGAR On The Possibility Of An EDDIE VAN HALEN Tribute Concert - "I Don't Care If It Takes 10 Years, That Will Happen"

Guesting on New York's Q104.3, vocalist Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony commented on the possibility of an Eddie Van Halen tribute concert in the future.

Hagar: "Of course it's gonna happen. No one's really connected all the dots with everyone involved, but I have been told and I have read interviews with various people involved - with Wolfie (Eddie's son) and Valerie (Bertinelli / Eddie's ex-wife) and Eddie's wife (Janie) that he was married to at the time -  they all said as soon as this is over, we're gonna get everybody together and do a tribute or whatever; just a 'thank you,' a goodbye, a send-off. And that's an absolute must. I don't care if it takes 10 years, that will happen."

Anthony: "We've got to celebrate the music; so much good music."

After the tragic passing of Eddie Van Halen in October last year, EVH looks to honor his monumental legacy with the introduction of new 5150 Series, Wolfgang Special and Wolfgang WG Standard models, reports Sam Roche of Guitar World.

The new 5150 additions include a Deluxe model in poplar burl – available in either Aqua Burst or Black Burst – a Standard model with an ebony fingerboard – available in both Ice Blue Metallic and Stealth Black – and a Standard model with a maple fingerboard and Neon Pink finish.

New additions to the Wolfgang Special line include a new QM model in either Charcoal Burst or Chlorine Burst, and a regular Wolfgang Special offered in an all-new Miami Blue finish with a black body binding, color-matched headstock and black hardware.

Representing the more affordable end of EVH's product line, the new Wolfgang WG Standard Series guitars include exotic bocote and exotic koa models both in Natural finishes, a QM model available in an all-new Transparent Green finish with a black headstock and black chrome hardware, and a regular Wolfgang WG Standard in either a Silver Sparkle or Stryker Red finish.
