Scorpions Singer Klaus Meine

Klaus Meine is the singer in the German rock band, The Scorpions. He is 55 years old, married, has a son, and lives in Hanover.

Klaus Meine has been composing and singing for the Scorpions for 34 years. His unmistakable voice is the signature of the guitar-oriented hard rock band.

How would he describe his character?

You should probably ask the other guys in my band.

His favorite music?

Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.

His favorite reading?

Political biographies.

His favourite foods?

Sushi and pasta.

What is his greatest joy?

The greatest happiness is when you are healthy and when you are in sync with yourself and the world, when you are clear about yourself. I think that's a good feeling.

What is his secret passion?

I have a few, but I want to keep them secret. I think a rock'n'roller has to keep a bit of his mystique. That's why secret passions should always remain secret!

Who is his personal hero?

Eh, personal heroes... JFK!

What's important to him in a friendship?

Mutual respect.

Who does he need to thank?

I think, everyone who works for peace. And everyone who really does their part to make sure the world doesn't fall apart and whose art, whether it's film or in whatever field, contributes towards pushing the world onto the positive side of the scales. I think we owe such people a lot.

Does he own anyone an apology?

No one. No. Everything is clear and on the table and there is no reason for me to apologize to anyone for anything. It's a pretty good state of affairs

Does he have an unfulfilled dream?

Not really. Because you always have dreams, but... an unfulfilled dream... Well, we would like to give a concert in Australia.

What has special value for him?

Peace!
