With albums such as Blackout and Love At First Sting, and hit singles like 'Still Loving You' and 'Rock You Like A Hurricane', the Scorpions have made German rock history; the group is an international hard rock pioneer and has influenced bands like IRON MAIDEN, BON JOVI and METALLICA. The Scorpions are one of today's great, legendary global acts and still enjoy huge success — whether in Russia, India, Japan, Brazil, France, Britain or the USA. During their acclaimed Humanity - Hour 1 world tour last year they played to over 150,000 fans at concerts in South America, and campaigned massively with Greenpeace for protecting the world's rainforests.
"Worldwide the Scorpions are one of the top bands," said Gerd Gebhardt, executive producer of the Echo Awards, in a statement. "They started their way from Hanover's clubs to the biggest arenas of the world. Over four decades, their music has touched people of all different ages and cultures."
