The hard rock band The Scorpions recently announced they were forced to cancel five upcoming shows in their home country of Germany
In a statement on its website, the group said that guitarist Mathias Jabs, who has been with the group since 1978, has an injury that requires surgery and rehabilitation.
“We deeply regret, especially Matthias Jabs, that due to the accident of our friend and Scorpions lead guitarist, the five concerts on our German tour cannot take place in September as planned and we will work closely with the tour organizer to announce new information as soon as possible,” the statement said. “We kindly ask for your understanding from all our fans, all the Rock Believers in Germany who were looking forward to the shows with us.”
There was no further information about the extent of Jabs’ injury.
Per Loudwire, the affected tour dates are between Sept. 11 and 20 and were scheduled to take place in Nuremberg, Hamburg, Leipzig, Cologne and Frankfurt.
The dates were the last stops on the band’s Love at First Sting 40th anniversary tour.
The Scorpions are best known for such hits as “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” “Still Loving You” and “Winds of Change”
