Sammy Hagar, the former Van Halen lead singer who's now going solo, will perform Nov. 19 at the Show Me Center.

Tickets for the show go on sale Saturday.

Hagar's first solo album in 11 years is titled "Marching to Mars"

Hagar started his career as the lead singer for Montrose before becoming a solo artist. After a number of platinum albums, he was asked to join Van Halen.

The band's first album with him aboard, "5150," was its first No. 1. He spent 11 years in Van Halen.

Hagar and Van Halen parted in June 1996. His new album has contributions from such diverse musicians as the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, Ronnie Montrose and funkster Bootsy Collins.
