After his recent health scare, Scorpions drummer Mikkey Dee has been rumored to be leaving the band. In a new Instagram post, the drummer responded to the rumors.
The rocker shared a screenshot of some recent news about him leaving the band, labeling the image with ‘FAKE!’ and adding in the caption, “NO, I AM NOT LEAVING SCORPIONS!”
“I am back home recovering from Sepsis and doing good progress! Never mind these bastards making up fake stories. If it’s not on my official pages, don’t trust a word,” he added.
Sepsis is a severe condition caused by the body’s immune response to infection that can result in widespread inflammation, organ failure, and even death. Dee earlier opened up on Facebook about his experience with sepsis. “Just a quick statement about what has been happening to me these past three weeks. This holiday season, I have been hospitalized with a very serious blood infection (Sepsis). I was admitted for three weeks but now I am home fighting this bastard bacteria. Thankfully, I have received fantastic care at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, my hometown,” he wrote.
The rocker also shared that he is back home and recovering well and shared his excitement for the upcoming shows. “After several operations, I am now back home and the numbers are all going in the right direction. Still lots of recovery and rehab in front of me. Now, I’m working a 100% to be back on the drum stool for the Residency that starts off in Las Vegas on February 27. We have a tremendous 2025 to look forward to, celebrating 60 years of ‘Scorpions’ and many exciting gigs around the world.”
The drummer will return to the stage with Scorpions for a special residency on the Las Vegas Strip for the band’s 60th anniversary. The shows will begin on February 27, 2025, at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Buckcherry will join them as the special guest.
