TARJA TURUNEN To Perform With SCORPIONS On German TV

Former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen will perform the song "The Good Die Young" with German hard rock veterans SCORPIONS on Germany's talk show "Wetten, Dass..?" on Saturday, March 27. She says, "I am sure I will have a good time there with the band and it is a great honor for me to take part in their performance in this particular show."

"The Good Die Young" appears on SCORPIONS' final studio album, "Sting In The Tail", which was released in North America on March 23 via Universal Music Enterprises. The CD was recorded at a studio in Hannover, Germany with Swedish producers Mikael "Nord" Andersson and Martin Hansen (the team behind THE RASMUS' "Dead Letters" CD).

An audio sample of "The Good Die Young" is available for streaming below. The song was written "about people who stand up for peace and freedom," according to singer Klaus Meine. "In a world that gets out of balance more and more every day, we try to put this feeling into music."

SCORPIONS — known worldwide for their mega, arena hard rock and over 100 million records sold — will travel the globe one last time on the "Get Your Sting And Blackout" tour. Kicking off the North American leg in June, the tour will take the band across the U.S. all summer and continue on around the world with special guests supporting along the way. Dates will be announced soon.
