"We want to celebrate with a big party around the world," rhythm guitarist Rudolf Schenker, in a January 2010 interview, said of the band's decision to hang up its leather and guitars after more than 40 years. "We've had a really great career, coming out from Germany and showing people that rock can come out of Germany. I think we started as a gang built by friendship and musicality, and going and showing that the Germans can rock."

Last month, Scorpions unveiled "Sting in the Tail," the veteran band's 17th studio album. The set, which features help from Swedish producers Mikael "Nord" Andersson and Martin Hansen, debuted at No. 23 on The Billboard 200, marking the band's highest chart debut in more than two decades. The album's lead single, "Raised on Rock," is currently sitting at the top of the classic-rock radio charts nationwide.
Scorpions (with Special Guest: Ratt) will be at the Bayfront Park Amphitheatre in Miami, Florida on Friday July 16, 2010.
