1/2 The Godfather of lifestyle. Jimmy started it all and took it farther than anyone. He taught us all how to live. Jimmy taught us all how to wear shorts, flip-flops and a worn out T-shirt, walk on stage, as well as your favorite restaurant, and be comfortable.
RIP my friend. Memories like this and your music will live forever. Our love goes out to your wonderful family. I know you and Bill are rocking.May every cover band play an Eddie Money song tonight.

Absolutely one of my favorite guitarist of all time! The "Truth" album changed my life. As a singer and guitarist, I wanted to be Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart rolled into one— we all did. What a loss. We will all miss Jeff. My love and condolences to his family and loved ones.
A huge loss to the industry & the USA.
@tobykeith
was a true supporter of democracy & freedom. I hear a 21-gun salute to Big Dog Daddy. I 1st met Toby in '01 & while I know a lot of people, I don’t have many friends. I just lost one. Love & prayers to his family. RIP friend.
Woke up this morning remembering another time I had an album in the top five. Flashback to 2004. Van Halen Best of Both Worlds Reunion Tour one of those special moments when it felt like old times with one of my favorite band/songwriting partners.

37 years ago today the first single “Why Can’t This Be Love” from ‘5150’ our first number one record was released. We were already on tour the first couple weeks without the album out yet! sold out every show every city 2–4 nights. Wow!

I'll never forget the first time Eddie and I played on stage together. It was Farm Aid 1985 in Champaign, Illinois. I sure do I miss this guy! Happy Birthday, Eddie.

Happy 19th birthday to my youngest and namesake daughter Samantha.
Having been locked down for the last 14 days with you has been such a blast. Mom and I would be going crazy without you being here with us.
I love this picture from a couple days ago and I love you!❤️🎂 Dad

@EddieVanHalen
's brilliant piano playing. When Neil Young invited me back to Bridge school benefit I brought Eddie. It was so special and unusual. We had never done anything like this. Please enjoy this treasure.
I dislike shots as much as anyone. But I want to get back to playing live concerts, traveling the world without putting anyone at any risk my family my friends and myself Included.

Happy birthday to my first daughter. 25 years ago on this very special day Kama Took her first breath. To Kari and I it felt like we were witnessing a miracle.
last night @ the Cabo Wabo I had the pleasure of closing down w/ the one & only John Travolta. not only was it a pleasure being on stage again with the new house band Julieta, but one of your favorite actors being more than you even imagined! tequila & stories were flowing
There are no words to describe the heartbreak that my family and I are feeling for the people of Maui. We called the island our home for over 20 years and remain forever attached to the community.
After filming our pay-per-view Fri & Sat on Catalina Island, we headed way down to where the big blue agave grow for a week in Baja Mexico. This is what happens when I pull into the airport for my birthday. A cake, and a shot of Santo tequila wow!

Mikey & I have been rolling together since 1985 & we will be rocking together on our front porches years from now. One of the greatest bass player/background vocalist on planet Rock. happy birthday to the man that needs no introduction 😁 Michael Anthony

This was a very proud moment for my mother when I was given the key to the city and a proclamation from the town i grew up poor in. Fontana California. Happy Mother’s Day, mom ❤️
2/2 Jimmy turned us onto Corona beer, tequila, and margaritas. The first time I met Jimmy he said "Oh you're the guy that's trying to get my job" and I said, "Of course, we all want to be you."
Rest in paradise, Mr. Buffett.

Wow look at those two young men. It's hard to believe so much time has gone by, that was 1986, 35 years ago, holy shit. Even crazier that I used to trade off guitar licks back-and-forth with Eddie Van Halen on stage every night. ha Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah....
When I look at this, all I can say is one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time, I'm so proud & honored to have been a part of it!! It's hard to believe we actually performed like that, night after night, for a decade!!!! Happy Anniversary 5150!
33 years ago, we boarded a spaceship or more like a UFO and headed for the Cosmos. Still traveling at light speed in the light where love lives. happy anniversary and beyond Kari. My partner, my lover, my friend

I always love getting together with my big sis, Bobbi. She damn near raised me when times were tough with mom and has always been there for me. I hope I am as vibrant alive, look and feel as good as she does when I am 81 ❤️

Had the honor of spending a day talking and playing music together at his home outside Nashville for a Rock&RollRoadTrip. Charlie Daniels was the real deal–a great musician, singer-songwriter, and outlaw. Legend, innovator, and good person. RIP.
Like you, I’m surprised & disappointed about High Tide, & sorry for fans who are inconvenienced - I’ll make it up to you Redheads, starting w/ extra free show 10/8 w/ the Wabos in Cabo! Old style: first come, first served

20 years ago my namesake daughter Samantha Pastel Hagar was born. She looked like a little angel from the second she was born & still does today. These 3 pics say it all. I'm so happy w/ the direction she took in life! Happy birthday to the real Sammy Hagar❤️Dad

1973 in London at the Charlton Festival opening for The Who. 80,000 people, my first big one. Bad Company also made their debut that day, and also on the bill was Humble Pie and Lou Reed. Walking around backstage earlier everyone thought that I was Roger Daltrey ha ha
I can’t believe it’s been 29 years since we opened the doors at
@CaboWaboCSL
for the first party- Van Halen+ lot of friends! This might be my favorite venture outside of music. I’m so proud of the Cabo Wabos, all the staff, all the memories. So special to me.

@acdc
stopped by to say hello. We had met a few times before being on the same bill. 1 of my fav singers still today. The photographer, Jay Blakesberg standing behind me, was flipping out. Not sure he ever got a photo. Glad someone did.
On this day in 1986, Van Halen released 5150, the first of four albums to be recorded with Sammy as frontman.

! 🎉 "You can hear the joy we had making this record when you listen back even now. You had 4 talented people on the same page, with the same goal, making rock 'n' roll! That's 5150 time!" - Sammy.
A 'Three Lock Box' to me is within yourself. If you unlock the treasure of your physical, and your mental, and your spiritual potential – in balance, those three things create unlimited power to achieve your goals.
Here’s to 38 years of “Three Lock Box”!
Happy 29th birthday to Balance! The monumental album was released on this day in 1995.
“Although it is mixed with both dark and light, I am very proud of this album." -Sammy
Happy birthday, Vic Johnson, my dear, long time friend and guitar player! Your loyalty and musicianship has been the foundation of every band you and I have been a part of. Love you like a brother.
