Sammy Hagar Says He Was Abducted By Aliens: Mas Abduction!

Sammy Hagar isn’t just the genius behind Van Hagar and Mas Tequila. No sir. He’s also the man who has been abducted by aliens multiple times, having his ass downloaded or uploaded or…something. He’s not really sure. But it’s led to some rockin’ jams.

Ever wonder where former Van Halen lead singer Sammy Hagar found inspiration for the UFO abduction songs like “Silver Lights” and “Hot Rocks”? From personal experience. Yes, Hagar was abducted by aliens. Multiple times.

Inside Sammy Hagar’s new memoir  Red, the Red Rocker reveals that he was abducted by aliens. In an interview with MTVHive, the singer elaborates on exactly what happened:

“[Aliens] were plugged into me. It was a download situation. This was long before computers or any kind of wireless. There weren’t even wireless telephones. Looking back now, it was like,  Fuck, they downloaded something into me! Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment.  See what this guy knows.

Hagar, god bless you as an interstellar ambassador of ours. Surely these aliens are the better for having downloaded your essence into their BioSpheres. They now understand the power of high notes, alcohol, and how much of a dick Eddie Van Halen can be.
