Scorpions drummer Mikkey Dee shared details about his return performance in Mexico City and his son’s special appearance. The update came through his Instagram post.
“Thank you Mexico City! Last night was great! It was amazing to sit behind the drum kit again after the sh*t I’ve been through earlier this year,” Dee stated. “Last night my son Marcus stepped in and played a couple of songs so I could rest my almost healed foot.”
“He did an amazing job and it was so much fun for both of us to be sharing a moment like this together,” he continued. “Next up is South America, then Europe all summer and Vegas in August. I can’t wait to rock out for the rest of the year. Again, thank you Mexico. See you back here soon again!”
This performance represents a crucial milestone in Dee’s recovery journey after a serious health battle nearly ended his career.
Loudwire reports that the veteran drummer recently battled life-threatening sepsis. The condition developed from a sprained ankle that progressed into a severe infection.
Dee spent three weeks at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. AXS TV notes that he underwent multiple surgeries to remove infected tissue and recover from the blood infection.
The health crisis forced changes to the Scorpions’ touring schedule. Ultimate Classic Rock confirms that the band’s ‘Coming Home to Las Vegas 60th Anniversary’ residency has moved from its February 2025 date. The shows will now run from August 14-23 at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
The band continues to maintain an active touring schedule. They plan shows across South America in April and May. A European summer tour will follow. The rescheduled Las Vegas residency, featuring Buckcherry as support, will highlight their 2025 performance calendar.
