According to Scorpsnews.com, SCORPIONS guitarist Rudolf Schenker hurt his leg/ankle during the third song 'Love 'Em Or Leave 'Em' at Friday night's (November 30th) show in Clermont, France. According to a fan update, "Rudolf - standing at the back of the stage playing his guitar to all songs, protecting his injured leg - finished the show as the true professional he has been for the past 35 years as the founding member of the Scorpions. Most musicians would of left the stage and never returned. This is a true sign of how much the fans mean to our beloved Rudolf Schenker."
