Helge Schneider: His tour drummer is his son Charly

Helge Schneider shows his ten year old son Charly on his tour – the boy is the drummer of his band.

He actually never wanted to go on tour again and now Helge Schneider (64) is "quasi" in a double pack. His ten-year-old son, the youngest of his six children by four women, is on stage with him. The red-haired Charles, also known as Charly, accompanies his famous father on drums.

In the weekly newspaper "Die Zeit", Helge Schneider spoke of his youngest's musical talent: "It just falls into his lap". The musician father himself does not want to be instructive: "It has to come from within with him. From watching". Nevertheless, his son gets a tip every now and then.

When Charly was born ten years ago, Helge Schneider announced on his homepage: "I still had a couple of drum sticks anyway, maybe he can use them, but first he should learn to swim." His new album, which will be released on August 28th, is also family-like; the title is simply "Mama".
