He is well-noted for his unique voice and polished delivery which ranges from high notes to soft ballads, and is respected worldwide for his support for music and human rights.Meine writes most of, but not all the
lyrics to Scorpions'songs . He also shares the authorship of some lyrics withHerman Rarebell (formerdrummer of Scorpions) on some songs like the major hit "Rock You Like a Hurricane ", among others.

album , Meine lost his voice so badly he could not even speak properly. Meine was advised by his doctor to consider another profession due to his voice problems.

Humanity Hour 1 ", and are currently engaged in a world tour.External links
