Guess Who The Scorpions New Drummer Is!

Hint: He’s in the Picture.

That’s right! It’s none other than the legendary Mikkey Dee himself!

It’s been well documented that preceding Scorpions drummer James Kottak has not being doing so well lately, starting with an alcohol fuelled fit on a flight from Dubai a couple years ago. The band deemed to necessary to replace him on a few shows recently where Mikkey took the helm, and now he’s taken the job permanently.

The former Motorhead drummer was announced as a full-time member by the band:

“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.”

Hope James manages to get through his troubles and hear some new project from him soon, but it is pretty cool that Mikkey has a new job with another legendary band!
