German rock band Scorpions have officially canceled their “Coming Home” tour across India, which was scheduled for late April 2026, citing “unforeseen medical circumstances affecting band members,” according to event organizers.
The tour included four major stops: Shillong (April 21), Delhi-NCR (April 24), Bengaluru (April 26), and Mumbai (April 30). The cancellation was announced publicly by the promoter, who also confirmed that all tickets will be automatically refunded within seven to ten business days.
The statement indicates that the decision was made due to a medical situation that prevents the band from ensuring proper performance conditions. While no specific diagnoses have been disclosed, it was emphasized that the band intends to return to India when their schedule and health conditions allow.
The tour would have marked Scorpions’ first performances in India in nearly two decades, following their last shows in 2007 during the Humanity World Tour. The anticipation surrounding these dates reflected the band’s continued global appeal after more than five decades of activity.
In recent weeks, vocalist Klaus Meine had expressed enthusiasm about the tour, highlighting the energy the band continues to draw from audiences while also acknowledging the realities of aging. Those remarks now contrast with the current cancellation, underscoring the physical demands of touring.
This is not the first disruption to Scorpions’ recent schedule. In 2025, parts of their South American tour were affected by health-related issues, while drummer Mikkey Dee previously underwent recovery following a sepsis diagnosis that led to postponed dates.
Despite these setbacks, the band remains active on their 60th anniversary tour, launched in 2025 and spanning Latin America and Europe. Their most recent performance took place in Brussels in April 2026, indicating that while operations continue, touring logistics remain subject to health and operational factors.
