Even established rock stars get starstruck.

Sammy Hagar recently revealed he got starstruck the first time he met Rod Stewart.

The rocker spilled the beans on his “Storytime With Sammy” video series, recalling, “Have I ever been a fanboy? Me? Absolutely!…I just remember I was always a Rod Stewart fan when I first started Montrose. I was playing in Europe, Montrose was on tour, and in walks Rod Stewart in a yellow suit, shiny, hair all spiked up.”

Hagar went on to say, “They walked up next to us, and it was like — I couldn’t even go up and introduce myself. I was a fan, but he was so charismatic that I was just dwarfed. Denny and I looked at each other like, ‘Let’s get out of here, man! He might see us!’ We were so intimidated. Honestly, I’ve never been so starstruck in my life.”
