SCORPIONS will hit the road in May for twelve North American headlining dates with Mikkey Dee, formerly of Motörhead sitting in on drums for James Kottak. Kottak is currently on break while he seeks medical attention. Swedish-born Mikkey Dee joined Motörhead in 1992 and is well-respected among the rock and metal community.
Scorpions singer Klaus Meine states “we would like to continue our ‘Return to Forever’ tour with James, but we have to realize that his health is priority. We wish James a speedy recovery and he will be back to Rock you later in the fall! We look forward to seeing all our fans this month.”
The band’s first release via the Century Mediawill be The Tour Edition of “Return To Forever,” which comes opulently stacked with two brand-new live DVDs and is bound to make fans’ hearts leap for joy. The live DVDs are even more expansive, offering generous bonus material. Look for it everywhere now.
