Former Van Halen singer and tequila-heist victim Sammy Hagar recently released “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight.,” a new single that he says he co-wrote with his former bandmate Eddie Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen passed away in 2020, and this is not a leftover, unrecorded track from Hagar’s time in Van Halen. Insted, Hagar tells Rolling Stone that Eddie appeared to him in a dream and they wrote the song together: “This was 100% a communication from the beyond.”
