Deutsche Welle is producing a 90-minute documentary, Big City Nights - The SCORPIONS Story, for release in 2013. A description reads: A legendary band calls it quits. The Scorpions are by far the most successful German rock band and one of the most successful international acts of all time. After more than 40 years and 2,000 concerts in 60 countries, they will make their final curtain call and step away from what has defined them for decades – their fans, their tours and their way of life. And along the way, the band will show once more what they do best: playing live. They will be performing more than 200 concerts in their final three-year tour and using the time to record a farewell CD with original and covered songs.
