Scorpions recently released the second part of their three-part Rock Believer docuseries.

The docuseries, directed by Thomas Noehre, focuses on the making of Scorpions' 19th studio album, Rock Believer, which is due out on February 25. "For our new album Rock Believer, we all came back together in the studio like in the old days and captured that journey on camera. Maybe you discover some unreleased music snippets from our new album in it…" Scorpions had said in a statement when the series was first launched.

Last month, Scorpions released the official music video for "Peacemaker," a single from Rock Believer. The track, written by singer Klaus Meine, features guitarist Rudolf Schenker and bassist Pawel Maciwoda.

Scorpions recorded the album primarily at Peppermint Park Studios in Hannover, Germany, and mixed it at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, Germany, with engineer Michael Ilbert.

Dead & Company have announced they will go ahead with their shows in Riviera Cancun, Mexico. However, the band is offering refunds to any fans who are having second thoughts about attending the events due to the rising cases of Omicron variant. "Any package holders no longer interested in attending Playing in the Sand for either weekend are now eligible for a refund by … submitting your refund request by 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 31, 2021," the band announced.

The sold-out Playing in the Sand concerts are set to take place over two weekends in Cancun, Mexico, on January 7-10 and 13-16. Meanwhile, the band and promoter CID Presents has "strongly" advised those fans who still plan to attend the concerts "to be boosted against COVID-19 before traveling to Mexico."
