old at the time of his death.
Meine, who became the unmistakable voice of Scorpions over their long and storied career, was
known for his powerful vocals and signature sound that helped define the band’s success. With his
unique voice and magnetic stage presence, he was one of the most recognizable figures in rock
music. Meine, alongside his bandmates, contributed to the creation of some of the most iconic rock
anthems in history, including “Wind of Change,” “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” and “Still Loving
You.” These songs, among many others, cemented Scorpions’ place in the pantheon of rock legends.
Born in Hannover, Germany, in 1948, Klaus Meine joined the Scorpions in the early 1970s and

unforgettable melodies, paired with his emotional and impassioned performances, resonated deeply
with fans. Scorpions’ music, often anthemic and introspective, connected with generations of
listeners who found solace, energy, and empowerment in their songs.
One of the band’s most defining moments came with the release of Wind of Change in 1990, a song
that became an anthem for peace during the fall of the Berlin Wall. Meine’s hauntingly beautiful
lyrics and vocal delivery captured the spirit of the moment and the hopes for a new world. The song
not only marked a milestone in Scorpions’ career but also became a defining track of the era. It is
one of the many examples of Meine’s ability to capture the emotional core of his audience with his
music.
Scorpions’ influence on rock music extended far beyond their native Germany. They gained legions
of fans across the globe, especially in the U.S., where they achieved multi-platinum status. Meine,
alongside guitarist Rudolf Schenker, was a driving force behind the band’s success, writing some of
their most enduring hits. The band’s mix of heavy metal, hard rock, and melodic ballads attracted
