“Sammy Hagar is truly one of the most iconic rock stars of our time, and he puts on an unforgettable show” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “He is fresh off his world tour and the sale of his 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari at the Scottsdale Fall Auction. I am thrilled to welcome my friend back to kick off an incredible auction week.”
For the last four decades, Sammy Hagar has been one of rock music’s most prolific artists, amassing 25 platinum albums with sales surpassing 50 million worldwide. Last week, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer announced that “The Best of All Worlds,” his critical and commercial hit summer 2024 tour, will launch in 2025 as “The Best of All Worlds Tour – The Residency” at Dolby Live at Park MGM. The highly anticipated residency will showcase Sammy’s career-spanning hits, from seminal breakouts with Montrose, his iconic solo hits and a deep dive into his tenure with Van Halen, Chickenfoot and everything in between. Sammy has written some of the greatest rock anthems of the era with “I Can’t Drive 55,” “Right Now” and “Why Can’t This Be Love,” and has earned the highest respect of the music industry with a Grammy Award, induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
