Sammy Hagar says he is 'so proud' that son Andrew Hagar is following in his rock star footsteps

Sammy Hagar's son Andrew Hagar is following in the footsteps of his rock and roll icon father. Last month, the 39-year-old singer and former kickboxer released his new single "Systematic Minds." Ahead of Father's Day, Sammy, 75, and Andrew, who appeared together in the Paramount+ docuseries "Family Legacy," sat down for a joint interview with Fox News Digital.

The former Van Halen frontman revealed that he was surprised when Andrew decided to pursue a career in the music industry instead of martial arts. "I never thought he was going to be a musician until about 10 years ago," Sammy recalled.

The Cabo Wabo founder continued, "He wasn't, like, when he was a kid, always playing guitar. He was more of a martial artist, you know?

And I thought for sure that's what he's going to do." Sammy remembered that he was taken aback by his son's musical ability when he heard him play for the first time. "It blew my mind how good his songs were and how good his lyrics were and his melodic sense and the fact that he played guitar," the elder Hagar recalled. "I said, ‘When did you start playing guitar?' I mean, he didn't live at my house, so I didn't see it." "But we see each other all the time," he added. "We've never went months without seeing each other and talking or anything.
