Scorpions Drummer Mikkey Dee Recovers After Life-Threatening Sepsis Battle

The 61-year-old musician underwent multiple surgeries during a three-week hospitalization and is now focused on returning to the stage for Scorpions' 2025 tour.

Mikkey Dee, former Motörhead drummer and current member of the Scorpions, was hospitalized for three weeks in December 2024 due to a severe sepsis infection.
The infection originated from a sprained ankle that worsened, requiring three surgeries to remove dead and infected tissue.
Dee credits the medical team at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, for saving his life and providing exceptional care.
He is now recovering at home and undergoing rehabilitation, with plans to perform at Scorpions’ Las Vegas residency starting February 27, 2025.
Dee expressed gratitude to fans and optimism for the band's upcoming 60th-anniversary celebrations and global tour in 2025.
