Biography

American guitarist, engineer and producer, born 18 January 1958 and died Monday 19th, May 2025. He was 67
Chris Hager met Stephen Pearcy in 1976 and the pair formed Mickey Ratt a year later. Hager eventually left the band in 1981 and joined ROUGH CUTT as the replacement for Jake E. Lee.
Earlier today, Pearcy shared the following statement via social media: "I am very saddened to hear about the passing of our dear friend, guitarist and musician Christopher (Chris) Hager today.
"Chris and I started MICKEY RATT together in San Diego 1977 and in moving to L.A. really created the band RATT in 1981. He was an amazing person, a great guitarist, songwriter and so committed to being just that. Chris went on to create projects over the years with ROUGH CUTT, WOOP AND THE COUNT and PEARCY/HAGER. We were actually working on new songs recently.
"I'm at a loss my friend. God bless you brother. As of this time the family would respect privacy."
