Campino
Auction of his firefighter jacket

Singer Campino, 61, frontman of Toten Hosen, is auctioning off a special jacket for a good cause. “We are delighted that the auction of the fireman’s jacket, which Campino received as a gift from the Düsseldorf fire department last year for the band’s 40th anniversary, went so well,” writes the band in an Instagram post, which features images of the jacket. Campino wore the firefighter jacket, which was personalized in his name and now signed by all band members, every evening when the band played the song “112”. The proceeds of the auction will benefit the victims of the attack that took place in Ratingen in mid-May.

“I’m sure you’ve heard about the terrible incident when there was an explosion during an arson attack on the Ratingen fire brigade, police and rescue service,” writes the band. “It was actually a routine operation, the forces called for help were completely clueless, 35 people were injured in this incident, nine of them so badly that some of them were in a coma and are still in this condition today.” According to the posting, the musicians are hoping “for many who will bid and thank you in advance”.

As long as the fans can still bid

In the description of the Ebay auction is also explained about the jacket: “Here you have the unique opportunity to bid for the firefighter jacket that Campino has worn on stage since the 40-year anniversary tour ‘Alles aus Liebe’ during the song ‘112’. Die Toten Hosen received this fire department jacket from the Düsseldorf fire department in 2022 for their band anniversary and since then it has accompanied the five at all live performances. The jacket was specially personalized for Campino and has his name and an individual number on the inside (1982).” The auction runs until July 20, the bid so far is 7,450 euros (as of July 11, 5:45 p.m.).
