out-of-this-world claims about his longtime rival and replacement Sammy Hagar — saying the vocalist had been “sex probed” by aliens after being abducted as a teen in California.“According to Sam, he was abducted by aliens,” Roth, 69, said Thursday, during an episode of “The Roth Show podcast” titled “The Ballad of Popsicle Sam.”The “Runnin’ With the Devil” singer said he was “compelled to solicit this sordid subject in an effort to explain Sam Hagar’s conduct” after he said he has not spoken an “a single syllable about him” for the “last 10 summers.”Roth claims the “I Can’t Drive 55” singer was taken by extraterrestrials while at a park when he was 15.“I think we’ve arrived at both the technical and the medical answer that may explain some of Sammy Hagar’s conduct and his constant spew of diarrhea vitriol in our direction,” Roth stated.“Sammy Hagar was abducted by aliens and he was sex probed.

‘Eras Tour’ to Miami in October; I saw her in Philadelphia last year, and she truly puts on a show like none other. The bad news?
