The end has come for the Scorpions:

After a journey that extends over decades in the world music scene, the Scorpions announced their disbanding. In order to say good bye to their fans, they will issue a last disk, Sting in the Tail on March 19, and will commence on the last tour of their career. "We complete our career with a disk that we consider one of the best we have ever recorded," the group said. The tour of the Scorpions is to begin in Prague on March 15 and they intend to tour the world in the next years. The band was founded in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker who is now 61 years old.

Madonna returns with new beat:

Perhaps in the past few years the Queen of Pop has all of us thinking in disco sounds, but the hour of the big change is here. Somehow, Madonna decided to leave for a bit the musical current that made her famous in the record world and try her luck with different musical choices! Her latest disk will be based on a new acoustic direction characterized as Rock – Rap, and to achieve it, Maddy will work together with Rock producer Brendan O'Brien, who in the past has worked with Pearl Jam, and Rap producer A-Trak. Her aim is to link the two musical movements, presenting something unique and original. The first comments heard are positive, reporting that Madonna passes endless hours in the studio trying to find the balance between the two types of music.
