By Tyler Jenke, Billboard German rockers the Scorpions have run into health issues amidst their 60th anniversary celebrations, cancelling a pair of South American dates due to a respiratory infection suffered by singer Klaus Meine.
The group took to social media on the weekend to reveal they would be canceling their Saturday (April 26) date in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Meine’s health.
“It is with great regret that Scorpions will be unable to perform in Buenos Aires tonight,” the band wrote. “Klaus has contracted a virus and suspected laryngitis and is unfortunately unable to sing. The band send huge apologies to all their beloved fans in Argentina and are extremely disappointed not to be able to play.”
Now, the group have been forced to cancel another date as Meine’s condition fails to improve, with the band again noting that their appearance at the Monsters of Rock festival in Bogotá, Colombia has now been axed.
“Klaus has still not recovered from the virus and respiratory infection that forced the recent Buenos Aires cancellation for Scorpions and is unfortunately still unable to sing,” a statement read. “The band send massive apologies to all their loyal fans in Colombia and are again extremely disappointed not to be able to play in one of their favorite countries.”
