**Statement from [Band Member]:**
“After much thought and consideration, I have decided to leave the Scorpions and step away from the band. This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, as the Scorpions have been such a significant part of my life and career.
I am deeply grateful for the unforgettable journey, the music we’ve created together, and the connection we’ve shared with fans across the world. Being part of this legendary group has been a privilege, and I’ll always cherish the memories of the amazing shows, the camaraderie, and the incredible support from our fans.
However, I feel it is time for me to pursue new paths, both personally and professionally. This decision comes from a place of love and respect for my bandmates and the incredible legacy we’ve built together.
I want to thank Klaus, Rudolf, Matthias, and Pawel for the incredible experiences and the lifelong friendships. To the fans, your passion and dedication have been a source of inspiration, and I will forever be grateful for the love and energy you’ve given us.
This is not a goodbye to music or creativity but rather the beginning of a new chapter. I hope you will support me as I embark on this next phase of my journey. Thank you for everything.”
Such a statement would reflect the gravity of leaving a band as iconic as the Scorpions while maintaining a respectful and positive tone.
