Metallica's James Hetfield and Sammy Hagar headline an all-star set to appear as part of the Acoustic 4 A Cure benefit, to be held on May 15 at the Fillmore in San Francisco.

Sufferers of the neurological disorder known as multiple system atrophy, or MSA, will get a big boost from some well-known rockers later this month, when some of music's biggest names come together for an all-star benefit concert.

Aerosmith and Sammy Hagar will headline Rock Fest 2014 at Cadott, Wisc., sharing the bill with Five Finger Death Punch and one other act still to be announced.

Drummer David Lauser has been a fixture in the rock community for decades, and now his peers are doing everything they can to help him stave off a family tragedy.

Members of Chickenfoot, Night Ranger and Mr. Big will appear during a special sold-out benefit concert for Sammy Hagar's drummer, David Lauser, whose wife is battling a deadly form of cancer.

In the wake of Ronnie Montrose's untimely passing, an all-star group of his friends got together to put on a show that celebrated the guitarist's contributions to rock 'n' roll. On Dec. 10, that concert is scheduled to make its home-video debut.

Aside from being one of rock's more distinctive vocalists, Sammy Hagar is a pretty decent guitarist. But for big chunks of his career, he's had the good fortune of not having to lean on his own chops. In fact, he's played with some of the genre's best axemen, including two of rock's greatest living guitarists: Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen.

After 40 years in the business, Sammy Hagar wasn't looking to discover a new way to make records. But that's exactly what he accidentally did with 'Sammy Hagar & Friends,' a collection of spontaneously recorded songs that features almost as many musical styles as guest stars.

Sammy Hagar has treated his post-Van Halen solo career like one big party, and with his latest release, he's rounded up an undeniably impressive guest list.

Almost as interesting as the artists Sammy Hagar is collaborating with on his upcoming 'Sammy Hagar and Friends' album is the list of artists he couldn't find time to record with. One, Metallica's James Hetfield, turned down Hagar's invitation, but the Red Rocker says he understands why.
