SCORPIONS’ KLAUS MEINE On Retirement: We Have ‘Scratched That Word’ Out Of Our Vocabulary
Written by megarock on May 9, 2022
During a new interview with Jorge Botas of Portugal’s “Metal Global”, SCORPIONS singer Klaus Meine assured fans that there is no more talk of retirement, as there was back in 2010 with what was purported to be a final album and a farewell tour that never quite took hold. “No, we scratched that word [retirement] out of our [vocabulary],” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “It’s not there. We don’t think about it and we don’t talk about it and we take it as it comes.
“Who would have thought two years after the pandemic… The pandemic is not gone, unfortunately, but two years after this long, long break… We played the last show before we started [our residency] in Las Vegas on the 5th of March, 2020 in Singapore; that was the last show,” he continued. “So it’s scary. We never had such a long break. And then all of a sudden you’re back in front of an audience, in front of the fans. But then you know it feels so good, and it still feels so good after all these years.
