Former Motörhead and current Scorpions drummer Mikkey Dee had a not so jolly holiday season, which he spent in the hospital with sepsis.
In a Facebook post Thursday, Dee writes, “I was admitted for three weeks but now I am home fighting this bastard bacteria.”
“Thankfully, I have received fantastic care at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, my hometown,” Dee continues. “So thanks a million to all the Doctors and Nurses that have been giving me the most excellent care. After several operations, I am now back home and the numbers are all going in the right direction. Still lots of recovery and rehab in front of me.”
Dee hopes to return to the live stage for the upcoming Scorpions Las Vegas residency, which launches in February. He joined the “Rock You Like a Hurricane” outfit in 2016 following the 2015 death of Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.
