O Scorpions anunciou em seu site oficial que a banda vai acabar após a turnê do próximo álbum, Sting in the Tail, que sai em março.
Basicamente, o que diz o comunicado é que eles sentem que o novo disco está entre os melhores da banda e querem sair por cima, enquanto ainda amam a música. Eles ainda colocaram no site arquivos com previews de duas faixas.
Confira abaixo o comunicado da banda na íntegra, e em inglês:
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 Scorpion’s 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.
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
