"I don't know what's going on," Hagar told VH1 Radio Network's Dave Basner when asked about reports of a new Van Halen album. "I couldn't even tell you. I could speculate all day long but I always get in trouble for doing that, so I'd rather just say I would love to hear some new music from those guys - and I don't care if I'm in the band or not, that doesn't mean anything to me. Right now, I'm really happy. I can play any song I want and I can sing it and I can rock it and I've got musicians that can do it and me and Mikey are having the time of our life."

"My guess is, if you want me to make one prediction," Hagar continued, "I think that Michael Anthony will be back in that band because they really need to do that. If they're going to serve the fans and ever do what the fans really want right now, if it's going to be Dave, then it's gotta be Mike, too."
