Reflecting on the ordeal, Mikkey said, “Another day and I might have been playing drums with Lemmy [Kilmister, the late Motörhead frontman] in heaven.” Despite the seriousness of his illness, he is now home and focused on recovery and rehabilitation.
Looking ahead to 2025, Mikkey is determined to return to the stage and perform with Scorpions, who are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year. He expressed excitement about upcoming concerts, including a Las Vegas residency starting in late February.
Mikkey ended his message by wishing his fans good health and a fantastic year filled with rock and roll. His strength and optimism serve as an inspiration to his followers and fellow musicians.
