Scorpions To Play World Cup Concert and Give Up Retirement Plans (A Top Story)

. On Wednesday Scorpions To Play World Cup Concert and Give Up Retirement Plans was a top story. Here is the recap: (Classic Rock) Scorpions guitarist Matthias Jabs has confirmed the band have given up on their plan to split – although they probably won't keep going the way they have in the past.

He says they've been invited to play at the opening ceremony of football's 2014 World Cup competition in Brazil. And he adds their next studio project is likely to include completed versions of songs they didn't finish in the 1980s and 1990s.

The German outfit announced their intention to break up after one last work tour in 2009. But as more and more dates were added they admitted they were reconsidering the decision.
