Mikkey Dee Scorpionsin vakituiseksi rumpaliksi

Saksalainen raskaan rockin legenda Scorpions on värvännyt Motörheadista tutun Mikkey Deen vakituiseksi rumpalikseen. Dee oli aiemmin toiminut yhtyeen rumpalina ”Return To Forever” -kiertueella, ja korvasi tehtävässä bändissä vuodesta 1996 asti soittaneen James Kottakin, joka kärsii terveysongelmista.

MIKKEY DEE JOINS THE BAND PERMANENTLY!
James Kottak leaves on a positive note.

Since 1992, the Swedish Mikkey Dee used to be a former band member of Motörhead until the dissolution of the rock band after the death of Lemmy Kilmister.

“We would like to thank James for so many years of lasting participation in the band and personal friendship. We understand and respect his need for time as he makes his way through the final stages of his healing process.”

”After our incredibly successful shows in the US, Europe and Asia, we are sure to have found a fantastic drummer with Mikkey Dee. He brings a fresh energy to the band and we look forward to the exciting time together that lies ahead.“ – SCORPIONS
