The Day in Rock Digest for 03/10/11: Sammy Hagar isn't holding back against Eddie Van Halen in his forthcoming autobiography and even Eddie's cancer battle isn't off the table. Blabbermouth reports that the Hagar recalls in 2004 when the he met at Eddie's house to discuss the Van Halen reunion tour, "He finally invited me over to this giant, extravagant house that he and Valerie (Bertinelli) had built before she split. It looked like vampires lived there. There were bottles and cans all over the floor. The handle was broken off the refrigerator door. There were spider webs everywhere. . . He told me he cured himself by having pieces of his tongue liquefied and injected into his body. He also told me when he had his hip replacement, he stayed awake through the operation and helped the doctors drill a hole. What a fruitcake." more
