Ballermann stars fear for their existence in the face of the ongoing Corona crisis. The Mallorca season is coming to an end. "We are afraid," said singer Willi Herren (44) in an interview with RTL recently. "We will be unemployed in the next few months". He is even considering going to office with his wife and getting a grant.
"It excites me so much"
Statements that Ballermann colleague Jürgen Milski (56) cannot understand. In a short Facebook video, he now speaks plain text and hands out against some of his fellow artists. "There are certainly other professions that have earned only a minimum of what we artists deserved during this time. They have every reason to be concerned about how they can make ends meet," says the "Big Brother" -Legend clear. "We have earned a lot of money in this industry for a long time. The fact that colleagues of mine are now standing up and saying I don't know how to make ends meet really upsets me."
In an interview with the news agency spot on news, Milski does not hesitate to criticize. "Everyone who has spoken there is a colleague who has made a lot of money over many years. If they have not put aside anything for worse times, I can not feel sorry for them." Anyone who has been in the Ballermann business for many years should rather keep their mouths shut, explains the singer.
"No financial worries"
He himself had earned a lot in the twenty years he had been in business and invested the money wisely. "Thank God I don't have to worry about financial issues. I've always thought of worse times."
He is currently in contact with those responsible on Mallorca. "The situation is being watched with concern," he admits. And how does Milski deal personally with the corona crisis? "I maintain social contacts via video telephony, which I unfortunately neglected for a long time due to lack of time." He is not afraid of being infected.
