Scorpions has pushed their Las Vegas residency back from February to August due to drummer Mikkey Dee damn near dying from a sepsis infection. The residency will still take place at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV and will still be opened by Buckcherry. The new dates are:
August 14
August 16
August 19
August 21
August 23
"We regret to inform you that due to Mikkey Dee's ongoing recovery from his recent hospitalization, we have made the decision to postpone our 'Coming Home To Las Vegas' residency to August 2025," wrote Scorpions.
"The health and well-being of our brother is of the utmost importance. We wish Mikkey a full and speedy recovery and look forward to rocking with you all again soon!"
All previously-purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates, and refunds will be available at points of purchase.
For those unaware, Dee nearly died from a sepsis infection in late 2024. Dee spoke a little about his experience in an interview with Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, saying he originally developed sepsis after spraining his foot in December.
"The ankle swelled up like hell, then it took on a weird shape and appearance and looked like an overcooked ham," said Dee, as translated from the original Swedish interview. "I became very ill so I had to go by ambulance to Sahlgrenska and there they found that I had sky-high values, so I became priority one there. It was surgery right away, the first of three. They cut away what was dead and infected and badly infested. It was not a good journey I was on… Another day and I'd be playing drums with Lemmy in heaven. I can say that."
Dee has since checked in with fans saying he's doing well. We wish Dee all the best with his health and look forward to Scorpions getting back out there and crushing it live!
