Sammy Hagar Discovers His Real Biological Surname – And It’s Not Hagar


The Van Halen rocker appears in an upcoming episode of PBS’ ‘Finding Your Roots.’

In a preview clip of the episode, the rocker finds out that his DNA does not match any men with the last name Hagar, meaning that genetically, that is not his last name. PBS’ Finding Your Roots is hosted by educator Henry Louis Gates Jr., and features DNA diagnosticians analyzing genetic code, tracing bloodlines and occasionally debunking beliefs. Over the course of 10 seasons, the show has featured everyone from Samuel L Jackson, LL Cool J, Questlove and Cyndi Lauper to Barbara Walters, Ben Affleck, Angela Bassett, Scarlett Johansson and more.
