Did Sammy Hagar Join Tool?

Tool is notoriously slow when it comes to recording and releasing new music. On Saturday, the band released an image via Facebook saying that former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar would replace Maynard James Keenan, in order to speed things up.

The next day, the official Instagram account of Puscifer (MJK's other band) showed a picture of the wine intake that may have led to the idea for this April Fool's prank.

It's kind of a drag that people have become so wary of anything announced on April 1st. Any other day of the year, I would have heard this news and immediately reacted with a WTF?, but on April Fool's Day, I just gave a quick smirk and "heh, nice one guys."
