The Scorpions announced yesterday that, due to Klaus Meine‘s severe laryngitis, the band had to cancel their remaining dates with Megadeth. Today Dave Mustaine released a statement on the tour cancellation, and thanked the band for the opportunity to tour with his heroes. Here’s what he had to say, “On behalf of Megadeth, I want to express our deepest gratitude to the Scorpions for this amazing opportunity to tour with our heroes. To the fans, old and new, who came out to see these amazing shows, we thank you profusely and hope you dug it as much as we did. Of course to the Scorpions, and their legendary singer Klaus Meine’s, whose health and well being is a ‘top priority’ to all of us, we wish him and his band mates the very best. If there’s ever a chance to share the stage again with the Scorpions again, we’ll be there!”
