The Scorpions Farewell Tour ?!

The Scorpions posted the following today:
It was always our pleasure, our purpose in life, our passion and we were fortunate enough to make music for you – whether it was live on stage or in the studio, creating new songs.
While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was – and how much fun we were still having, in the process. But there was also something else: We want to end the Scorpion’s extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely grateful for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we’ve always had since the beginning. This is why, especially now, we agree we have reached the end of the road. We finish our career with an album we consider to be one of the best we have ever recorded and with a tour that will start in our home country Germany and take us to five different continents over the next few years.
We want you, our fans, to be the first to know about this. Thank you for your never-ending support throughout the years!
We uploaded the very first snippets from our new album on our website for you.
And now… let’s get the party started and get ready for a “Sting in the Tail”!
See you on the world tour,
Yours
Scorpions










I cried…that is all.
Say it ain’t so! I saw the Scorps ROCK the US Festival May 29, 1983 and they rocked Glen Helen. Saw them again at the Forum in LA. What a ride, what a rockin group. Thanks for the tunes, guys. All the best–and way to step out on your terms.
I saw you guys in Bakersfield Ca some years ago for the face the heat tour.I will be at meadowbrook in New Hampshire for your farewell tour, sad to see it end but you’ll live on in my music collction. You are the best. “you and I” has become the anthem for me and my girl. Hope to hear it at the show as I’ll be there with my girl. Thanks for all the years of great music and prefomances. Bless and keep you all safe on your tour.
the class of 2013 from ELHS (east longmeadow High school) in MA wishes the scorpions the best of luck and to say that you are the best band in the world
u guys r d best
I hope they’ll get hook up with some (near) contemporaries in each country/market so it’ll be an oldschool treat e.g. maybe Judas Priest in the UK or a NWOBHM-type band that would have supported them back in the late 70s early 80s.
It is very sad to hear about, great band, great music, 100 000 000 copies sold SCORPIONS are the best Hard Rock band
I’m sure this news comes as a major surprise to those who thought the band retired a couple of decades ago.
