Scorpions guitarist Matthias Jabs has spoken out about his accident that forced the band to cancel five shows this month in their native Germany.
He says, “I had a bad accident in my rented summer house. I fell down the stairs with 16 steps and broke my left pinky twice and I also broke my left heel. I had surgeries on both, hand and foot, by the best specialists I could find in Hamburg. Now it is time to heal and start the physical rehabilitation for a speedy recovery.
"I will try everything to be able to play guitar again on stage as soon as possible… I am very optimistic that we will see us again very soon."
The Scorpions have no other dates scheduled for this year.
