Recent rumors have falsely claimed the death of Mikkey Dee, the esteemed drummer of the Scorpions and former member of Motörhead. These baseless reports have been debunked by Dee himself, who took to social media to assure fans of his well-being. He expressed his frustration, stating, “NO! I AM NOT DEAD! … Spreading rumors that I have died is wrong on so many levels.”

Thanks to the excellent care at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, he is now recovering at home. Dee acknowledged the gravity of his condition, noting that another day’s delay in treatment could have been fatal
Despite this health scare, Dee is focused on his rehabilitation and is determined to rejoin the Scorpions for their upcoming Las Vegas residency starting February 27, 2025. He conveyed his enthusiasm for the band’s 60th-anniversary celebrations and the exciting events planned for the year. Dee’s resilience and commitment to his music continue to inspire fans worldwide.
