_The Scorpions’ History:_

 

The Scorpions were formed in Hanover, Germany in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker. The band’s early years were marked by a series of lineup changes, with Schenker being the sole constant member.

Throughout the 1980s, the Scorpions continued to release hit albums and singles, including “Animal Magnetism”, “Blackout”, and “Rock You Like a Hurricane”. The band’s popularity peaked in the late 1980s, with the release of their 1990 album “Crazy World”, which featured the hit single “Wind of Change”.

 

In the 1990s and 2000s, the Scorpions continued to release new music and tour, with a series of lineup changes along the way. In 2010, the band announced their retirement, but later reversed their decision and continued to tour and release new music.
