 Rolling Stone : Hagar, Roth Team for Tour
Hagar said he will play music from his Seventies band Montrose through his stint in Van Halen (1985 to 1996) to his recent solo material, backed by the band he's had since leaving Van Halen.
In an interview after the press conference, Hagar said his union with Roth was a gradual process, with feelers put out through mutual friends, a phone conversation and a face-to-face meeting before the two reached an agreement.
The coupling of Hagar and Roth for the tour is surprising in part because of the shots the two have taken at each other in the press over the years, an issue that was addressed when the two singers met.

 mtv.com - News - Sammy Hagar Calls Reunion With Van Halen 'Inevitable'
Hagar confessed that he hasn't spoken with either of the Van Halen brothers in quite some time, though bassist Michael Anthony has been joining him onstage of late.
Hagar joined Van Halen in 1986 when Roth, the band's original, highly charismatic frontman whose voice soared over such early hits as "Runnin' With the Devil," "Panama" and "Hot for Teacher", left (or was fired, depending on which story you believe) to pursue a then-burgeoning solo career.
Hagar's seemingly more congruent personal and musical chemistry with guitar hero Eddie helped take the band to its greatest commercial heights, though admittedly many fans and critics alike long held out hope for a reunion with Diamond Dave.
