In a new interview with "The Bogus Otis Show: 9 Degrees Of Sammy Hagar" podcast, Sammy Hagar was asked if there is any chance of original material being written and recorded by his current "The Best Of All Worlds" touring band.

It's all good. But I need a tax write-off, so it really helps. 'I made too many this year. Let's go make a record.'"
