This official statement was just posted on the Scorpions official website:
"Important message to our fans:
It was always our pleasure, our purpose in life, our passion and we were fortunate enough to make music for you - whether it was live on stage or in the studio, creating new songs.
While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was – and how much fun we were still having, in the process. But there was also something else: We want to end the Scorpions' extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely grateful for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we’ve always had since the beginning. This is why, especially now, we agree we have reached the end of the road. We finish our career with an album we consider to be one of the best we have ever recorded and with a tour that will start in our home country Germany and take us to five different continents over the next few years.
We want you, our fans, to be the first to know about this. Thank you for your never-ending support throughout the years!
We uploaded the very first snippets from our new album for you here. And now… let’s get the party started and get ready for a Sting in the Tail!
See you on the world tour."
Yours,
Scorpions
Confirmed dates on the Get Your Sting And Blackout Scorpions World Tour 2010.
heathenelz - 2/3/2010 12:36:13 AM I was wondering how long these guys could keep going. Other than a couple of stinkers in the 90's, I think they've been consistently great. I hope they really try to make this last CD rock - Maybe a Lovedrive/Virgin Killer/Blackout type release. We have enough power ballads from them.
rockgirl66 - 2/2/2010 6:39:49 PM I believe them. This is the way to retire. The tour will probably last 1.5 years but they won't try to come back like Ozzy or Kiss. I haven't bought a record of theirs since Animal Magnetism but I will support them in a successful farewell tour by buying my tickets when they come to LA. Maybe Michael Schenker will join them on a few shows. Bye bye Scorps.
scrapmetal - 2/2/2010 2:08:58 PM done with class like their whole career-i actually believe they will stay away as theyve been at it (especially Klaus Meine since the early 70s
vatch - 2/2/2010 9:43:06 AM I wonder if Scorpions will try to top KISS and The Who in the number of "Farewell" Tours?
DavaDethh - 2/2/2010 6:15:27 AM For real, They had thier day and its gone. Long gone.
Overlord - 2/1/2010 10:15:27 PM Scorpions 2010 World Tour, Old guys in spandex just isn't my idea of a good time!
KilledbySKULL - 2/1/2010 4:02:17 PM ...AND SCORPIONS??? I thought they were already gone. They sure as hell arent relevant these days. Take Van Halen with you or are they already retired as well? Oh they broke up...again...
KilledbySKULL - 2/1/2010 3:59:34 PM LMFAO!! This just gets better each page!Yeah boy get your ass back to work and quit beating a dead horse telling us something we already knbow. LOL!!
DavaDethh - 2/1/2010 12:25:01 PM No shit Cannible this blob cloner is some kind of obsessed freak. Its obvious to me the guy is following the Skull on Twitter as he's used several items the skull used on his tweets. Thats a real stalker fag right there! I mean if this blob cloner fag had a website of his own where he was prancing around in his underwear like the queer he is (OR regardless of the content) I wouldnt be going there period becuase who gives a fuck about a fag! So for someone he says he hates so much -The Skull, he sure does spend a HELL OF ALOT of time ranting, surfing over the guy. Break times over back to the coal mine.
