Scorpions suspended due to 'virus'

The Scorpions were forced to cancel the concert they were giving in Hamburg after only 30 minutes because the singer's voice failed Klaus Meine, who took the stage despite being in ill. "He has a viral infection that has attacked his voice completely and is in medical treatment," said Peter Lanz Dpa today, the public relations agent of the old rocker.

For now still it is in the air if the Scorpions may continue with the planned concert in Berlin, scheduled to mark its 50th anniversary race. Meine said he deeply regretted the interruption of the concert in Hamburg. Thousands of fans showed understanding and, instead of boos in social networks many expressed wishes for a speedy recovery for the singer. The agent said that for now it is not known if they can recover the concert in Hamburg.
