Klaus Meine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Klaus Meine (born May 25, 1948, Wedemark, Hanover, Germany) is the lead vocalist for German rock band Scorpions.
Meine writes most of, but not all the lyrics to Scorpions' songs. He also shares the authory of some lyrics with Herman Rarebell (former drummer of the Scorpions) on some songs like the major hit "Rock You Like a Hurricane", among others. He also composed some songs alone like "Wind of Change" and "When The Smoke Is Going Down".
In 1981, after a world tour and during the recording of the Blackout album, Meine lost his voice so badly he could not even speak properly. Meine was advised by his doctor to consider another job due to his voice problems. However, Scorpions stuck together and after therapy and vocal chord surgery, Meine's voice recovered.
