Scorpions canceled three concerts due to Klaus Meine's bacterial bronchitis.
Remaining Central and South American dates are scheduled before a month-long hiatus.
Guitarist Michael Schenker declined to join the 60th anniversary tour over internal disputes.
Scorpions have announced the cancellation of three upcoming concerts from their world tour due to vocalist Klaus Meine's ongoing health issues. The initial cancellation occurred on April 26 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Meine was reported to be suffering from suspected laryngitis, preventing him from performing.
Following this, the band also canceled their May 1 show in Bogota, Colombia, extending their apologies to fans for the inconvenience. The disruption continued with the recent cancellation of the May 3 concert in Quito, Ecuador. Meine, aged 76, has been diagnosed with bacterial bronchitis, a condition that has significantly impacted his ability to sing and perform on stage.
Despite these setbacks, Scorpions have two remaining dates in their Central and South American tour scheduled for May 6 in Aguascalientes and May 8 in Puebla, Mexico. After these performances, the band will take a month-long hiatus before resuming their European tour, which is set to continue until the end of July. Performances in the United States are planned for August, ensuring the band’s commitment to their global audience.
The tour, organized to celebrate Scorpions' 60th anniversary, has also been marked by internal challenges. Former guitarist Michael Schenker has publicly stated he will not participate in the anniversary tour due to ongoing disagreements with his brother and current guitarist Rudolf Schenker. This development has added another layer of complexity to the band’s extensive touring schedule.
Despite these challenges, Scorpions remain dedicated to their legacy, striving to deliver memorable performances across their remaining tour dates. The band continues to manage Meine's health situation while preparing for their upcoming European and American shows, underscoring their resilience and commitment to their long-standing fan base.
