The musically hunchbacked Brit spider and his Stinkadores on their way through the troubled country
It's the umpteenth tour of the superstar from the Ruhr area. He's even really enjoying traveling now. "Yes, I take a close look at everything!" That's how Helge Schneider comes to you! "I'm always looking for contact with my audience. And: I want people to stop taking themselves so seriously. I want them to laugh. If they don't, it doesn't matter. For my part, I don't find a lot of things funny at all. But you have to understand that. I look at myself in the mirror day in, day out. Watch out: the shock could be profound when I take off my wig!" It's a "threat to the whole family! Nevertheless: I'm not giving up!"
The band plucks and plays Helge Schneider's most beautiful compositions. He has written countless. Oh no, he hasn't written anything down. He has everything in his head!
Helge Schneider turns 70. " I never thought when I was born that I would be 70! What a welcome surprise!"
So: if you want to see Helge Schneider again, just go!
