Pietro Lombardi is considered a pupil of Dieter Bohlen. Now the singer thanked his mentor via Instagram: "I love you."

Former "DSDS" participant Pietro Lombardi (28, "Why") said goodbye to his mentor Dieter Bohlen (67) on Instagram. After almost 20 years, the pop titan will no longer appear as a juror on the RTL shows "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" and "Das Supertalent". "Thank you Dieter", Lombardi starts his comment on a video on Instagram with common "DSDS" scenes. He adds loving statements such as "You are a great role model for me", "You are a legend", "I thank you from the bottom of my heart" or "I love you".

According to Lombardi, Bohlen was the one who believed him from the start: "Over ten years of friendship, over ten years of a team!" And further: "It was an honor for me! You are and will remain a legend."

Pietro Lombardi's life and career are closely linked to Dieter Bohlen and his show. In 2011, Lombardi became known as the winner of the eighth season of the talent show. Afterwards, Bohlen took the native of Karlsruhe under his wing and produced and wrote numerous songs for him. During the "DSDS" filming, he also got to know and love his current ex-wife (2013-2019), singer Sarah Lombardi (28), and the mother of his son, Alessio (5). Lombardi returned as a jury member in the 16th (2019) and 17th "DSDS" seasons (2020).
