Marshall Of Rock

A woman in Waterloo, Iowa, has filed a lawsuit against Sammy Hagar, claiming that his recent book "Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock" breaks a legal agreement the couple had over a baby he allegedly fathered in the late ’80s.

In the breach of contract and defamation lawsuit filed Wednesday in an Iowa county court, a woman dubbed “Jane Doe” in court documents claims that she had no advance notice of the book, that she wasn’t notified that personal information about her would be included and that by publishing it, Hagar broke a confidential agreement he made to support the woman during the pregnancy. Her name was not included in the book nor in the 1989 agreement.

In hios book Hagar claims he met a former Playboy Bunny in Detroit who later claimed she was pregnant with his child. He alleges that she used the unborn baby as leverage to extort him for child support. “Obviously, it wasn’t my baby, and [the woman and her lawyers] knew it,” Hagar wrote. “They just extorted me as long as they could.” The woman currently is a resident of Iowa, but claims she lived elsewhere during at the time.

A paternity test was planned following the birth, but the baby, identified in court documents as Dylan, died before the test could be conducted, the lawsuit claims. In ‘Red,’ Hagar wrote that he believed the woman never gave birth to the baby and that she may have had an abortion.

Hagar's memoir ‘Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock’ The best-selling autobiography will be out on paperback soon with an additional all-new chapter detailing the way friends and industry insiders received it upon its initial release.

Here's the 5th in the every-other-day series of podcasts from Chickenfoot for the album track "Lighten Up". The new Chickenfoot III album will be released Sept. 27. See what Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar and Chad Smith have to say about the creation of the track and hear a snippet of it:

In a side note, American Rock Scene interviewed Sammy Hagar and he revealed that he has completed another chapter for "Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock." The new chapter will be included in the upcoming paperback edition of Sammy’s popular New York Times best seller.

Sammy Hagar was on the April 19th episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on ABC-TV. He sat down for an interview with Jimmy, then re-enacted his alien encounter mentioned in his new book "Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock". This is hilarious!

Sammy made a stop on Adam Carolla's podcast and talked about how wacked out Eddie Van Halen has been. I wonder when Eddie is going to repond to everything Sammy has had to say while on his book promo tour. That should be interesting, even though it IS all true.


Sammy Hagar and Joe Satriani of Chickenfoot kicked off Saturday's World Series ring ceremony (April 9, 2011) for the San Francisco Giants with their rendition of the National Anthem.
