Sammy Hagar Celebrates 77 in New Interview

Sammy Hagar turned 77 this October, and the Red Rocker told People Magazine that’s ok with him.

“I love 99% of it, I really do,” he tells People. “There’s something about being a little bit complacent in your old age saying, ‘Nah, I already did that.’”

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer –who is ready to start a new residency in Las Vegas–says he has no plants to retire, and is having more fun than ever.

“Iget out there, and it’s like it’s riding a bike or having sex,” he said.

According to Hagar, the older you are, the better decisions you make.

“In my 40s, I spun more wheels. I spent more energy on [things] that I didn’t do than I do now on things that I do, and it’s just such a waste,” he explains. “I wasted so much time and energy and money and things I could have done for other people. The older you get, I’m just more directed, so I don’t bite on things. I don’t waste people’s time.”
