Sammy Hagar recently celebrated his birthday with some shows at the Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas. The concerts saw the frontman joined by a number of guests including Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), Joey Belladonna (Anthrax), Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), Belinda Carlisle (The Go-Go’s), Deen Castronovo (Journey), and more. You can find some fan-filmed footage from the shows below:
During an interview with Loaded Radio, Type O Negative’s Kenny Hickey confirmed that there has been talks about a possible Peter Steele tribute show. According to him, “a lot of people are approaching” them.
Hickey said the following:
“There has [been talks], yes. A lot of people are approaching us. There are a lot of agents [contacting us]. There’s money in it, so the more the value goes up, the more they’re gonna hound us.””
He continued when asked if Josh Silver is still uninterested:
“Josh is really, at this point, he’s very resistant. But we’ll see. We don’t know what’s gonna happen. Josh is about to retire [from his job as a paramedic] soon, so we don’t know what’s gonna happen. It all depends on how much money it’s worth and how much is waved [in front of us].”
He also added the following when asked if the band have a singer in mind:
“No, no. It’s a very hard thing to get my head around. If something really gets concrete, then I’ll really start thinking about it and painting over it, because there’s [also] the issue of the bass playing. [Peter’s] bass playing was more unique than his vocals. Deep, baritone vocals — a lot of people with a deep voice could do that shit and roll your Rs… But his bass plan was very, very unique.”

Disturbed have officially commented on the cancellation of their October 15 show at the Forest National in Brussels, Belgium. As previously reported, local authorities put a stop to the concert due to a potential security risk related to frontman David Draiman’s fierce support of Israel. The singer infamously signed an artillery shell in that country last year.
The band said the following:
“BELGIUM UPDATE
Music is where all our differences fade into the background. Music has the power to heal, to inspire and to bring people together, it’s not about what divides us. We have always made it a point that at our shows ALL are welcome no matter what you believe. Everyone who comes to a Disturbed concert is accepted and loved. We are saddened that our fans in Belgium are not going to be able to share in this celebration of music.
