Retirement is obviously not in sight for Helge Schneider. Just two days after the album was released, the entertainer will celebrate his 65th birthday on August 30th. How he will spend his special day, he recently revealed to the "Augsburger Allgemeine": "After the party on my 50th birthday, I tidied up for four days. I won't do that again until I turn 100. It could be that my children all come to me, but maybe that's not even possible because of Corona. "

Helge Schneider has been on stage for more than 40 years and can look back on a remarkable career. He is not only a musician and comedian, but also thrilled his fans with films like "00 Schneider – Im Wendekreis der Lidechse" (2013) or "Texas – Doc Snyder keeps the world in suspense" (1993).

After he had announced in the Corona lockdown that he had to "remain consistent" and not play any more concerts for the time being, "La Schneider" has returned to the stage. Under hygiene regulations, some of his program "Helge – Nur für Dich!" take place, among others in Berlin, Hamburg and Dresden.
