Mikkey Dee Joins Scorpions 2016-09-12 by manosg EMERITUS | 5 Comments | Former Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee finally joined Scorpions on a permanent basis, after appearing with them for a number of concerts earlier this year. He replaced James Kottak who had been with Scorpions since 1996 but had to leave the band due to health issues.
Mikkey Dee wrote on his Facebook page earlier today:
“I guess most of you have heard the news.
I am now a permanent member of Scorpions.
I feel truly honored and fortunate to be able to carry on playing drums on this level. I grew up listening to Scorpions and have always loved the band. We have been friends for a long time so traveling and performing this year with Klaus, Rudolf, Matthias and Pawel has been loads of fun and the crew is very professional. The Scorpions fans has been most welcoming and its been great to meet all the crazy wonderful Motörhead bangers along the way.
I had some close to 25 amazing years with my friends and brothers Lemmy and Phill in Motörhead and that will always be the back bone in my future drumming. Lemmy always had great respect for Scorpions for being a real rockband and I am sure he is proud up there that I moved on and for playing with this class act.
Here’s to many more years of Rock n roll. Cheers!
Mikkey”

So unlucky, joining a band on its last tour.... Oh wait.

Lol wtf the Scorpions are through by now I would think

Idk, I think they still have a few good albums left in them.
| | |
They've been 'on their last tour' for like five years now. The money's just too good to pass up I guess.

wondering where he was going to land, not a great spot, they are in the same boat as Motorhead was, last legs
