The Scorpions Explain Why They Didn't Say Farewell

(Classic Rock) The Scorpions say they have had too much fun on their three-year long 'farewell tour' to actually call it a day. The band had planned to retire at the end of their mammoth global trek but singer Klaus Meine admits the temptation to keep going has been too strong.

He tells Deutsche Welle: "When you start a three-year farewell tour, you know you've got a long time ahead of you. But that long period went by much faster than we imagined. The closer we got to the goal - Munich in December 2012 - the stronger the feeling was that we hadn't come to the end at all.

"There were so many images in our minds and so many emotions in our hearts. Everything we experienced between 2010 and 2012, the 200 concerts, it was all so powerful. You stand on stage, look down and see so many fans, including the younger generation, who are really getting into it and saying, 'Guys, this is so cool. We're seeing you for the first time. When will you be back?'

"It's so motivating and inspiring to play for three generations. We're all having too much fun to put down the guitars." more on this story
