The [lastfm]Scorpions[/lastfm] will be the newest addition to Hollywood’s Rock Walk of Fame. In a ceremony set to take place on April 6 at a Hollywood Guitar Center store, the German rockers will join the likes of [lastfm]Eric Clapton[/lastfm], [lastfm]Carlos Santana[/lastfm], [lastfm]Johnny Cash[/lastfm] and [lastfm]Elvis Presley[/lastfm] by leaving their hand prints in the sidewalk.

The announcement comes as the band preps for their farewell tour in Europe this May.

“We want to celebrate [with] a big party around the world,” Rudolf Schenker told LiveDaily in a recent interview. “We’ve had a really great career, coming out from Germany and showing people that rock can come out of Germany. I think we started as a gang built by friendship and musicality, and going and showing that the Germans can rock.”
