Scorpions Forced To Cancel Several Tour Dates

German rock legends the Scorpions have remarkably been flying the flag for the genre since 1965. The band has released several classic albums, and despite several lineup changes through the years still remains on the road celebrating their extensive catalog and legacy.

The band was set for a handful of shows in their native country later this month, but sadly had to postpone the dates due to an injury to guitarist Matthias Jabs. The guitarist detailed an accident he had via Instagram: “Dear fans and friends, as you might have heard already, i had a bad accident in my rented summer house. I fell down the stairs with 16 steps and broke my left pinky twice and I also broke my left heel,” he revealed. “I had surgeries on both, hand and foot, by the best specialists I could find in Hamburg. Now it is time to heal and start the physical rehabilitation for a speedy recovery.”

He continued: “I will try everything to be able to play guitar again on stage as soon as possible. I am sorry to tell you, that the shows in September won’t be happening, but I am very optimistic that we will see us again very soon. Rock n Roll forever, Yours Matthias.”
