He also ventured into the world of business, building a successful tequila brand and expanding his entrepreneurial empire. But, through it all, Hagar remained true to his musical roots, frequently revisiting his classic songs and continuing to deliver the high-energy performances that his fans have come to expect. Tracks such as Eagles Fly serve as a testament to Hagar's enduring appeal. Even later in his career, tracks like Hands and Knees continued to show his diversity as a performer.
