We Work on What We do Becouse We Still Love It and We Still Enjoy It. But it’s what is. And I Think Every Artist Knows What i’m Talking About, Becouse To Go Out There, Play A Great Show for The Fans and Not Let ‘Em Down, It Takes A Lot Of Preparation, Takes A Lot of Work. And Being the Singer, You try to make Sure Your Pipes are in a good condition.

Like in the last coupling of Weeks, we had so much fun. Buto you get sick on the road, Like I Did Last Last Last Year What can you do? Specially for Singers – and I Know I’m not the Only One.Klausc’mon, how long can you Keep up This Level? ‘ And The you go out there, Everything Feels Good. “

Circling back to Scorpions‘2010 “Farewell Tour” AnnoCement, Klaus awd Siriusxm: “Of Course, We Had Our Moment of Doubt When We Said, ‘Okay. Maybe We Should retire. Maybe This is a good moment.’ And then we realized we were Wrong, Because There Still a Lot of Sting in the Tail, So To Speak, and It Still Feels Good. Scorpionsand We’re One of the Few Bands Who Play This Global Stage. If there was kind of demand, of course, There’s no Point After So MSAY YARS, AND YOU’D BETTER GO, ‘Well, I GO HOME AND TAKE IT EASY.’ But There Such a Strong Demand and that Really Feels Good and Challenging – It’s a Challenge. Of Course, You Don’t Do It For The Business. It’s a Good Business, Yes, But You Don’t Do It For The Business and For The Money – You Do It For The Fun, You Do It For What’s Inside of You, What’s In Your Blood, What’s In Your Venins, and That’s The Rock and Roll Music.
