Now, frontman Sammy Hagar has confirmed that January 2014 is the target month to begin work. "It looks like January is on the agenda," Hagar tells M Music & Musicians, in a just-published interview. "Joe's been writing, and I'm writing lyrics at all times. He's going to start sending me stuff and I'll send him lyrics, and we'll walk in with five or six ideas. As for the rest of the songs, we'll create them on the spot with the four of us in a room."
