"New album and retirement (2010–present)
In November 2009, Scorpions announced that their 17th studio album, "Sting in the Tail", would be released in early 2010,[27] recorded in Hannover with Swedish producers Mikael "Nord" Andersson and Martin Hansen. "Sting in the Tail" was released on March 23, 2010.
On January 24, 2010, the band announced that "Sting in the Tail" will be their last album and that the tour supporting it will be their final tour. Dokken was scheduled to open for them but canceled after a dispute.
The tour is expected to end in 2012 or 2013.
According to bassist Paweł Mąciwoda, Scorpions will enter the studio in the fall of 2011 to re-record versions of their older material. This retro collection is tentatively due for release in early 2012. According to recent news, the album will be titled "Comeblack" and will be released on 7 November 2011.
Frontman Klaus Meine was asked in a July 2011 interview about the future of Scorpions and whether the band was going to make another album.
He replied, "Our newest project comes out in the next few months. It gives you a chance to experience the Scorpions in 3D. You can actually feel the smoke string out of the guitar like it is a live show. It is an incredible experience. The DVD features our concerts in 3D in Germany.
We are just about to do the mix and it should be in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia hopefully soon. Indeed, the strong 3D technology makes us feel like pioneers after all these years (he says, laughing). We have an album coming out later this year featuring classics. You know our love for them. The '60s was the era for our inspiration.
Our movie/documentary also is soon to be released. We have cameras with us on tours, so this documentary is being made during our tours. It also gives you a picture of the Scorpions career and journey."
Almost a year in advance it was announced Scorpions would headline the Wacken Open Air Festival on 4 August."
