Timeline

1963

Micael Kiriakos Delaoglou (born 31 October 1963), known professionally as Mikkey Dee, is a Swedish musician, who has played drums for Scorpions since 2016.

1985

Having moved to Copenhagen, Denmark to play with Geisha, Dee joined King Diamond in 1985.

1986

He played on the King Diamond recordings Fatal Portrait (1986), Abigail (1987) and Them (1988).

King Diamond himself was becoming quite popular and the musicians backing him were taking a secondary role in the writing and decision making.

After the completion of the supporting tour for Them, he decided to leave the band as he felt that he was becoming more of a backup musician rather than an equal contributing songwriter.

1989

However, he was rehired to play session drums for the recording of the band's follow-up album, Conspiracy (1989).

After completion of the album, he was replaced by Snowy Shaw.

1990

Dee joined Don Dokken for his solo album Up from the Ashes (1990).

The music videos for the songs "Stay" and "Mirror Mirror" received airplay on MTV's Headbangers Ball.

The band headlined their own tour as well as opening for Judas Priest.

During this time, he filled in temporarily for the band World War Three (WWIII).

While King Diamond was touring with Motörhead, frontman Lemmy repeatedly asked Dee to join his band.

1992

He was the drummer for Motörhead from 1992 until 2015 and has played with other artists including King Diamond, Helloween and Don Dokken.

Dee was born in Gothenburg, Sweden to a Greek father and a Swedish mother.

He began his musical career with local bands Nadir and Geisha.

His main influences include Ian Paice, Brian Downey, Neil Peart, Steve Smith and Buddy Rich.

In 1992, Dee accepted, replacing Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor.

Dee's first gig with the band was on 30 August 1992 at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in New York.

He did not have much input on that year's March ör Die album which had been recorded with Tommy Aldridge prior to Dee joining.

Dee played on the band's albums Hellraiser and Hell on Earth – the soundtrack for Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth.

Although Aldridge recorded most of the drum tracks, Dee's photo appeared on the rear album sleeve.

Aldridge said that Dee could take credit for the playing but Dee declined, citing differing styles.

Epic Records dropped the band after the soundtrack's release and the group continued recording with German label SPV.

They also started a label called "Motörhead" which was distributed through Warner-Chappell and ZYX.

1993

Dee's first album for this label was 1993's Bastards.

2003

Dee also played drums on Helloween's 2003 album Rabbit Don't Come Easy, stepping in for Mark Cross.

2004

Dee played drums for Martin "E-Type" Eriksson in the Swedish pre-qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 as well as on E-Type's 2003 EuroMetal Tour.

2006

On his replacement of a longstanding member, Dee said in 2006:"'Phil Taylor was great when he was good... so I could never have filled that space. It's like when you get married and have kids; no one can take my father's place… I could never be Phil Taylor, so I had to introduce Mikkey Dee into Motörhead.'"

In April 2006, King Diamond reunited with Dee at a sold-out gig at Kåren in Gothenburg, Sweden.

King referred to Dee as "one of the best [drummers] of all time and that's something that has bothered us since he left."

2009

Dee was a contestant on series 1 of Kändisdjungeln on TV4 in 2009 but was eliminated in the 15th episode.

While filming, his place was filled on tour by Matt Sorum, who commented: "I thought either Mikkey would either die in the jungle or I would die on the Motörhead tour."

2015

Following Lemmy's death in December 2015, Dee announced that Motörhead had disbanded.

2016

Dee joined Thin Lizzy to play on their anniversary shows in January 2016.

However, on 19 April, it was announced that he would not be participating.

Subsequently, it was announced that Dee would be filling in for James Kottak on the Scorpions' twelve North American headlining dates, including a run of shows at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas dubbed "Scorpions blacked out in Las Vegas".

Dee later joined the band permanently.

Dee is known for lengthy drum solos, often lasting between five and fifteen minutes.

Some notable examples include those that appear in Sacrifice, In the Name of Tragedy, and The One to Sing the Blues.

Dee uses Sonor drums, Paiste cymbals, Evans drumheads, and Wincent Drums sticks.
