Scorpions have postponed their 2025 Las Vegas residency in order for drummer Mikkey Dee to continue recovering from his recent sepsis battle.
“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. The health and well-being of our brother is of the utmost importance,” the band shared on social media.
Scorpions were originally scheduled to launch their “Coming Home to Las Vegas 60th Anniversary” residency on February 27 at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
The residency has been rescheduled to run from August 14 to 23, marking their third Vegas residency since 2022, with Buckcherry continuing to provide support.
Dee recently detailed his sepsis ordeal, revealing that he was close to death due to the bacterial blood infection.
“This holiday season, I have been hospitalized with a very serious blood infection (Sepsis),” the drummer shared on Facebook. “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. So thanks a million to all the Doctors and Nurses that have been giving me the most excellent care.”
