An irregularity in census research leads to a DNA test, revealing a surprising truth hidden in Sammy Hagar's family tree. It turns out that Sammy's DNA does not match his father's line, meaning genetically, he's not a Hagar at all.
For the last four decades, Sammy Hagar has been one of rock music's most dynamic and prolific artists, amassing 25 Platinum albums on sales surpassing 50 million worldwide. His decades-long career has spanned breaking into the industry with the seminal hard rock band Montrose and his multi-platinum solo career to Hagar’s ride as the frontman of Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and now his latest supergroup, The Circle. Along his journey, he has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems ever written, including "I Can't Drive 55," "Right Now" and "Why Can't This Be Love," and has earned himself the highest respect of the music industry with a Grammy Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hagar is also a dedicated philanthropist, two-time New York Times best-selling author, and an auspicious entrepreneur.
