Scorpions frontman Klaus Meine, 75, recently underwent a complex spinal surgery that has impacted the band’s 2024 touring plans. Despite progress in his rehabilitation, Meine’s recovery has been slower than anticipated, leading the band to cancel their appearance at the Vive Latino Festival in Mexico. The singer stated that his medical team advised against travel and high-altitude performances, citing the risks involved given his current health condition.
The band has not announced any further cancellations, and Meine is expected to continue his recovery in time for Scorpions’ upcoming Las Vegas residency in April 2024, celebrating the 40th anniversary of their iconic album Love At First Sting. The residency is scheduled to feature performances of the full album alongside the band’s greatest hits.
While fans are hopeful for his full recovery, Meine’s health situation underscores the physical challenges that come with maintaining an active career in rock music at his age. For now, his focus remains on rest and rehabilitation before returning to the stage to “Rock You Like a Hurricane” once again【7】【8】【9】.
