Singer Klaus Meine, who speaks warmly about Russia, is known to music lovers as the undisputed leader of the Scorpions rock band. The vocalist is the author of most of the band's songs, including hits such as "Wind of change", "You and I", "Moment of Glory", "Speedy's Soming" and "Still loving you".

Klaus Willy Meine was born on May 25, 1948, in the city of Hannover (Germany) located at the foot of the Graz mountains. Despite the fact that the artist was born into a family of ordinary workers, his craving for music became apparent from an early age. According to Klaus himself, he realized what he wanted to devote his life to on the day when he heard the songs of The Beatles and the songs of the singer Elvis Presley on the radio.

Seeing in their son a craving for creative self-realization, the parents bought their beloved child a guitar. An active boy mastered a string instrument a couple of months after purchasing it. The artist has repeatedly admitted that the memories of how he organized chamber concerts, at which he pleased the household with the performance of singles popular at that time, still bring a smile on his face.

During the self-study course, Maine also attended singing lessons. His first vocal teacher had an extremely effective teaching method: when he could not play a note, the teacher pricked Klaus with needles. After receiving his high school diploma in 1964, the ambitious young man entered the local design college, after which he worked as a driver for a short time and sang in the bands The Mushrooms and Copernicus.

As a student, the vocalist met guitarist Rudolf Schenker, who invited the vociferous Meine to unite to create his own band. At that moment, Klaus considered the venture a waste of time and refused. After the breakup of Copernicus, Klaus accepted Schenker's offer and, together with the band's founder, Michael, joined the growing music group Scorpions.

In 1970, Klaus officially joined the Scorpions, becoming its irreplaceable member. Almost all the lyrics of the group's songs belong to the pen of Klaus. A striking example of such work is the single "Wind of change" recorded by the group in 3 languages.

Together with the "Scorpions" Meine went through the period of the formation of the musical style of the group, recording increasingly heavy albums. The real breakthrough happened in 1979, when the record "Lovedrive" successfully conquered the US music charts.

In 1981, the "Scorpions" were at their peak of popularity, but before recording the album "Blackout" Klaus started having problems with his voice. Initially considered a common cold sore on examination turned out to be a fungus of the vocal cords. The vocalist wanted to leave the "Scorpions" so as not to interfere with their triumph, but the members of the musical group persuaded Meine not to cut it off and return to them after a full recovery.

After two operations and almost a year of rehabilitation, his voice resounded again. As a result, the album "Blackout" became one of the most successful in the history of the group, hitting # 10 on the Billboard chart, and the song "No one like you" became the first on the Mainstream Rock Chart.

Two years later, the album "Love at first Sting" appeared on the shelves. The platinum album included such well-known hits as "Rock you like a Hurricane", "Bad boys running wild", "Coming home", "Big city nights" and "Still loving you".

In the 1988 album "Savage amusement", in addition to classical songs ("Don't stop at the top", "Media overkill"), there were also tracks with elements of progressive rock ("Walking on the Edge", "Passion rules the game ").

1990 was marked by the release of the album "Crazy World". Many critics have rated this disc as one of the best in the band's work.

It was in this album that the world famous compositions "Wind of change" and "Send me an angel" appeared. Five years after the release, the work was awarded multi-platinum status.

The sixteenth studio concept album "Humanity: Hour I" was released in May 2007. In addition to the "Scorpions" themselves, other famous personalities worked on the disc. The opening song "Hour I" was co-written by guitarist John 5, and on "The Cross" Klaus sang a duet with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan.

In 2009, in honor of Freddie Mercury's birthday, Klaus at a concert in the Swiss city of Basel sang the song of the vocalist of the Queen group - "Love оf my life". In March 2010, the album "Sting in the Tail" was released. The single "Raised on rock" peaked at # 2 on the Classic Rock Mediabase, while the album reached # 23 on The Billboard 200 and # 6 on the Rock Albums chart.

In 2015, the eighteenth studio album "Return to forever" appeared on the shelves. The disc included 12 songs and 4 bonus tracks available for listening when purchasing a gift edition.

It is known that during the recording of the material for the album, the groundwork left after the releases of the records "Blackout", "Love at first Sting", "Savage amusement" and "Crazy world" were used. In March of the same year, the world premiere of the documentary "Forever and a Day" took place, the plot of which is the story of the creation of the legendary rock band "Scorpions".

The Scorpions soloist shattered the ossified stereotype that freedom-loving rock musicians are inconsistent in their sympathies and often change life partners. The singer of the song “Maybe i maybe you” met his first and only wife Gaby in 1972 at one of the concerts of “Scorpions”.

In conversations with media representatives, the singer repeatedly said that he fell in love with his spouse at first sight. Despite the busy work schedule, the vocalist found time both for work and for the chosen one, who at the time of their first meeting was only 16 years old.

Two years after they met, the lovers began to live together, and in 1977, Klaus made Gaby a marriage proposal. In 1985, the faithful artist gave birth to his son. The happy parents named the boy Christian.

During the existence of "Scorpions" the musicians have already toured the world three times with "farewell" concerts. In 2017, Klaus Meine, together with guitarist Rudolf Schenker, officially announced that the "Crazy World Tour" planned for this year was not final and that the band members decided to continue their career. Since the beginning of June, the Scorpions have given concerts in France and the USA, and in October-November the rockers will also perform in Russia.

This time, the artists will visit seven Russian cities: Sochi, Krasnodar, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa and Yekaterinburg. The name of the current tour was given by the album "Crazy World", released in 1990, the track list of which included the popular song "Wind of change". Few people know that Klaus wrote this single after visiting Moscow.

Despite the fact that the irreplaceable leader of the "Scorpions" with a height of 163 cm does not have accounts on social networks, in "Vkontakte" and "Instagram" Scorpions fans have created pages on which, in addition to photos and interviews, materials related to the creative biography of members of the musical group.
