Due to drummer Mikkey Dee’s ongoing recuperation after a recent health scare, the Scorpions’ February residency in Las Vegas will have to wait.
The news was made by the band on X.
The statement stated, “We regret to notify you that we have decided to postpone our Coming Home to Las Vegas residency to August 2025 due to Mikkey Dee’s ongoing recovery from his recent hospitalization.”Our brother’s health and welfare are our top priorities.
The statement was made only a week after Dee blasted rumors that he was leaving the band on Instagram.
I will not be leaving Scotland!He penned it.I’ve returned home and am making good progress in my sepsis recovery! Ignore these jerks who fabricate stories. Don’t believe a word if it’s not on my official pages! Mikkey!
Dee, the former drummer for the iconic band Motorhead, recently told fans that he almost died in a hospital in December after battling sepsis.
In early December, he sprained his foot and was experiencing slight fever and inflammation, he told the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet. But according to Dee, his ankle swelled up like crazy right before Christmas, and it suddenly took on an odd form and appearance, resembling an overcooked ham.
I had to take an ambulance to Sahlgrenska because I was so sick, and when they saw that my values were really high, they gave me priority there, he continued.
According to Dee, he ultimately had three procedures.
According to him, they removed anything that was dead, sick, and severely contaminated. My journey wasn’t going well. In heaven, I would be playing drums alongside Lemmy, the late frontman of Motorhead. That’s what I can say.
Lemmy in heaven (frontman of Motorhead). That’s what I can say.
He said, “I have been admitted to the hospital this holiday season due to a very serious blood infection (sepsis).” After three weeks in the hospital, I’m back at home battling this dreadful bacteria. Fortunately, the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in my hometown of Gothenburg has provided me with excellent care. I therefore want to express my gratitude to all of the doctors and nurses who have been providing me with the best treatment possible. Now that I’m home after multiple surgeries, the numbers are all trending upward. I still have a lot of rehab and rehabilitation ahead of me.
