No doubt Sammy Hagar, a former lead singer for Van Halen, has enjoyed a lot of far out experiences in life, but on Monday, the rocker told perhaps his farthest out tale to MTV. He was abducted by aliens.
Or, at least, his brain was.
In an interview for his new book, Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock at mtvhive.com, Hagar lets go of what even he admits might make him "sound like a crazy person" to some readers.
He and the reporter are talking about dreams he claims to have had about UFOs, and when asked whether he believed he had been abducted, Hagar answers: "I think I have."
The reporter seemed surprised. "What? Really? I was kidding. You seriously believe that?" he asks.
Hagar laughs and goes on to explain that a passage in the book described as a dream in which he is contacted by aliens from outer space in California was, in fact, reality.
The tale describes how the beings tapped into his mind through a wireless connection.
"It was real," Hagar told the reporter. "They were plugged into me. It was a download situation ... Or, they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment."

This new case raises many questions. Namely:
What type of wireless modem do the aliens use and are they getting faster connection speeds than us?
How big was the file they downloaded from Sammy's brain? Music files can be quite large...
Has this happened to any Australian musicians? e.g. Could this be the real reason Michael Hutchence left INXS?
