Scorpions lead single Klaus Meine has elaborated on his decision to alter the lyrics to “Wind Of Change,” an anti-war anthem the West German rock band put out after performing at 1989’s Moscow Music Peace Festival. Speaking to Ukraine’s TCH, Meine recently said, “Since the release of the [new Scorpions] album [Rock Believer] in February, we were preparing a new show, a new set. We were booked for a residency in Las Vegas. I thought, ‘This is not the time to romanticize Russia with lyrics like, ‘Follow the Moskva / Down to Gorky Park.” And I wanted to make a statement that we support the Ukraine in this very difficult situation.”
