SCORPIONS Singer KLAUS MEINE Is Recovering From 'Complex Spinal Surgery'

March 8, 2024

SCORPIONS frontman Klaus Meine has revealed that he is recovering from a "complex spinal surgery." As a result, the band's previously announced March 16 performance at the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City has been canceled.

Earlier today, the 75-year-old singer took to SCORPIONS' social media to write:

"Dear Mexican Fans, knowing that some of our most amazing diehard fans live in Mexico, it is with a heavy heart that I have to let you know, SCORPIONS will not be performing at the Vive Latino Festival on the 16th March 2024 in Mexico City. The reason we have had to cancel is because I recently underwent a complex spine surgery, and my doctors expected me to be better and back on my feet in time for the show.

"I am making good progress with my rehab, but unfortunately, I have not recovered as expected and after talking with my medical team, I am advised that a 12-hour flight time and performing at 2000 meters altitude is a tough one for anybody and I am not well enough to travel and to give you the show you all deserve.

"I hope we can come back to Mexico soon, to Rock you Like a Hurricane!!!!!

"I am so sorry for causing this inconvenience to all our loyal Mexican fans and to the excellent promoters, and hope, for your understanding.

"Love….Klaus".

SCORPIONS will return to the Las Vegas Strip next month a brand new exclusive headlining residency show in celebration of the 40th anniversary of their iconic album "Love At First Sting", performing the album plus all of their biggest hits. Promoted by Live Nation and Caesars Entertainment, "Scorpions - Love At First Sting Las Vegas" kicks off on Thursday, April 11 at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The new show follows the band's popular "Sin City Nights" residency which sold out all nine performances at the venue in 2022.

SCORPIONS' only continuous member has been guitarist Rudolf Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of the band's studio albums, while guitarist Matthias Jabs has been a consistent member since 1978, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016, respectively.

SCORPIONS' latest album, "Rock Believer", was released in February 2022. The album was recorded primarily at Peppermint Park Studios in Hannover, Germany and was mixed at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, Germany with engineer Michael Ilbert, who has earned multiple Grammy nominations for his mix work with producer Max Martin on albums by Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.
