SCORPIONS Cancel Third Concert In A Row Due To KLAUS MEINE's 'Bacterial Bronchitis'

Hard rock legends SCORPIONS have been forced to cancel their concert tonight (Saturday, May 3) at Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa in Quito, Ecuador. According to a statement posted on the band's social media, SCORPIONS singer Klaus Meine, who will turn 77 later this month, "has still not recovered from the virus that forced the recent Buenos Aires [April 26] and Bogota [April 30] cancellations for SCORPIONS and was diagnosed with a bacterial bronchitis which caused his unfortunately inability to sing."

SCORPIONS add in the same statement: "The band send their deepest apologies to all their loyal fans in Ecuador and are again extremely disappointed not to be able to play in one of their favourite countries. They'll make every effort to return to Ecuador and South America in the future."

Meine told the Phoenix New Times in a 2017 interview that the aging process has forced the SCORPIONS to scale down their touring activities — they no longer play three shows in a row or even attempt to perform some of the earlier songs in the original key. He said: "When you listen to songs from 'Blackout', like 'No One Like You', [or] 'Big City Nights', it's physically impossible [now] to do those songs in the original keys. You want to play those songs, but you want to survive 100 shows a year. So some of the songs we play in different keys, but the energy is still there. You're still at the top of your voice. Even now, you've got to go to the edge, but maybe the edge has moved a little bit."

Back in May 2022, Meine assured fans during an interview with Jorge Botas of Portugal's "Metal Global" that there was no more talk of retirement, as there was back in 2010 with what was purported to be a final SCORPIONS album and a farewell tour that never quite took hold. "No, we scratched that word [retirement] out of our [vocabulary]," he said. "It's not there. We don't think about it and we don't talk about it and we take it as it comes.

"We're just growing older and we do what we do and we hope our fans enjoy it as much as we do," Klaus added. "But who would have thought we're still around after celebrating 50 years of being recording artists — our first album came out in 1972 and now 'Rock Believer' looks like it hits the big time with the fans and so many positive reviews from all over the world. And after all these years, who would have thought? And it's a wonderful thing.

"But all we know is [that] the road ahead is way shorter than what's behind us. And we never take it for granted —we never take success for granted. We work hard on what we do because we still love it and we still enjoy it. But it's what it is. And I think every artist knows what I'm talking about, because to go out there, play a great show for the fans and not let 'em down, it takes a lot of preparation, takes a lot of work. And being the singer, you try to make sure your pipes are in a good condition.

"It's a lot of things," Meine said. "And we don't know what the future will bring. Take a look at the next corner, and you never know what's going on. But right now, life is good. We have a great new album out there. And we have a lot of fun. We enjoy it."

Meine previously discussed SCORPIONS' aborted retirement in a 2018 interview with SiriusXM. "The thing is we have a much different view now," Klaus said. "And it's a young generation — that's the fuel that keeps us going, and it's really motivating.

"To be honest, every other year, you take a look around the corner: 'Can we do this?' 'Can we still deliver on the same high level, the way we used to do it?'" he admitted. "And that's the only way, and it's only fun if you can go out there and play a great rock show, wherever you do it. Like in the last couple of weeks, we had so much fun. But then you get sick on the road, like I did last year with the severe laryngitis. What can you do? There's not a chance. And then sometimes, of course, you ask yourself, 'How long can we do this?' Especially for singers — and I know I'm not the only one. But it's always, sometimes you ask yourself, 'Klaus, c'mon, how long can you keep up this level?' And then you go out there, everything feels good."

Circling back to SCORPIONS' 2010 "farewell tour" announcement, Klaus told SiriusXM: "Of course, we had our moment of doubt when we said, 'Okay. Maybe we should retire. Maybe this is a good moment.' And then we realized we were wrong, because there's still a lot of sting in the tail, so to speak, and it still feels good. There's such a demand for the SCORPIONS, and we're one of the few bands who play this global stage. If there wasn't this kind of demand, of course, there's no point after so many years, and you'd better go, 'Well, I go home and take it easy.' But there's such a strong demand and that really feels good and challenging — it's a challenge. Of course, you don't do it for the business. It's a good business, yes, but you don't do it for the business and for the money — you do it for the fun, you do it for what's inside of you, what's in your blood, what's in your veins, and that's the rock and roll music. And you wanna go out and play in front of an audience, because that's what it's all about."

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.

SCORPIONS originally intended to record the new album in Los Angeles with producer Greg Fidelman, whose previous credits include SLIPKNOT and METALLICA. However, because of the pandemic, some of the initial work was done with Greg remotely, after which SCORPIONS opted to helm the recordings themselves with the help of their engineer Hans-Martin Buff.

It is with further regret that Scorpions will be unable to perform in Quito tonight, May 3rd. Klaus has still not...

да пора уже на пенсию пиво пить сосиски есть

Evil3062, ща-ща, пацаны, только двадцать пять последних-припоследних туров отгоняем, пять последних-припоследних альбомов запишем - и на покой!

mohnatiy, в ящик.

Беспокойства вызывает. Скорейшего выздоровления желаю и пребывания в здравии долгие, долгие годы.

Клаусу здоровья! По последним видео-роликами видно, как трудно ему даются выступления, но его прёт и он продолжает! Бескрайнее уважение ему!

olly71

они может быть и хотели бы поубавить туры в силу возраста и болячек но у такой большой группы всё расписано года на три вперёд и там такие контракты что за нарушение огромные штрафы да и очень большая куча народа кормится за их счёт .

olly71, ещё на концерте в 2022-м Клаус уже еле ноги тягал, это было очевидно. Не пойму, зачем в таком возрасте такие долгосрочные контракты заключать. Чтобы прям со сцены вперёд ногами вынесли? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nord61, и тут играет ABBA мани мани мани....

Evil3062, у Клауса состояние 75 лямов вечнозелёных, у Рудольфа - 80, у Маттиаса - 40. Чёт сумнительно, чтобы пожилым людям с такими колоссальными бабками их (бабок) было мало. Может, правы те, кто говорит, что сцена - это как тяжёлый наркотик, с которого очень трудно слезть... Вот и ползают до последнего.

Nord61, денег много не бывает

Nord61

Evil3062, этот аргумент канает, когда артисту 25 лет, он голодный. Но когда под 80, в музыке всё уже сказал и по сцене еле ползает - мотивация, имхо, именно та, что он боится зачахнуть вне сцены, на пенсии, и поэтому скребётся туда из последних сил.

Посмотри на потухший взгляд Клауса на фото - деду реально тяжко, я живьём видел 3 года назад, как он с превеликим трудом таскается по сцене, каждый жест - как будто он сейчас в обморок брякнется. Сомневаюсь, что он мотивирован исключительно баблом. Ему, скорее всего, эмоционально невыносимо уходить со сцены.

Nord61, именно так и есть, поддерживаю.

Nord61, блядь ну если такие состояния - отслюнявить штраф и послать всех нахуй, чо им, не хватит что ли?

Мне кажется, тут комбо: сами музыканты жить по-другому не умеют, а вокруг таких больших имён выстроена целая индустрия, поэтому организаторы стараются урвать побольше лавэшки с умирающего поколения классических рокеров - или чё, вы думаете, что они все будут жить вечно? Очень удивительно, что некоторые группы дотянули аж до таких лет.

Уверен, что тому же Блэкмору каждый день приходят письма с такими предложениями, что мы бы все тут охуели от цифр. Но Блэкмору 80 лет, сколько там ему осталось-то? Так что вопрос денег вряд ли у музыкантов на данный момент имеет такое уж сильное значение.
