Giovanni Zarrella takes music lessons in his daughter’s class
First a “Bro’Sis” star, then a solo artist, now a presenter and now he’s switching to a teacher at short notice: Giovanni Zarrella, 44, is a “jack of all trades” and surprises again and again. Now he has taken the plunge and tried his hand at teaching. “… if you give music lessons in your daughter’s class,” he wrote with a heart decorated with a photo in his Instagram story. A plaque can be seen in the snapshot that reveals some of the musician’s improvised curriculum.
“Why wander into the distance …?”, Giovanni had thought during the apparently spontaneous conception and simply wrote the text of his hit in the most beautiful block letters “Senza te” written in chalk. The lines of the original German song “Münchner Freiheit” can be read right below it. For this lesson in German hits, the busy jack-of-all-trades deserves an A with an asterisk.

Concern about pop singer Michael Hartl
Marianne, 69, and Michael Hartl, 72, have been a strong team for almost 50 years, but the singer currently has to worry about her husband. “My husband had a stroke last night. I heard him moan – thank God I woke up and immediately knew what had happened. This made the window of opportunity for help short. He is the best clinic in southern Germany. We can do it! He will get over it!” Marianne confirmed on Thursday, March 10, 2022, to “Bunte”. In an interview with Bild, she emphasizes: “Michael is strong and a fighter, he will do it and will soon be healthy again.” It is further said that his condition is currently stable and the operation went well, after which he was placed in an induced coma.
As Marianne further reports, Michael has organized a transport of aid supplies for the Ukraine in the past few days. The truck should set off for Ukraine next Friday, March 11th – and Michael Hartl really wanted to be at the wheel himself. “Michael has exhausted himself completely in the last few days preparing for the transport. He really wanted to help. Now it is he who needs help,” says Marianne.
Three weeks ago, fans of the folk music duo “Marianne and Michael” had to worry about the singer. The 69-year-old fell, breaking her right shoulder and requiring emergency surgery.
Helene Fischer shows up after a baby break
Fans can hardly wait: Helene Fischer, 37, returns to the stage! The pop singer celebrates her big comeback after a break of almost four years. On March 27, 2022 she will be back on stage – at “SnowpenAir” in Switzerland.
The hit icon withdrew from the limelight for almost two and a half years. You treat yourself to a creative break, as the 37-year-old announced in January 2019. In 2021, Helene Fischer appeared in public again. First, she announced her new album “Rausch” in July. With her eighth studio album, the singer was able to build on old successes: the record went straight to number 1 in the German charts. Not entirely voluntarily, Helene Fischer announced on Instagram in early October 2021 that she and her partner Thomas Seitel, 36, expecting a baby.
Now the Schlagerqueen can really take off again – the fans will thank her.

Florian Silbereisen speaks at DSDS about Helene Fischer
This year, Florian Silbereisen, 40, is an integral part of the DSDS jury. With the song “Achterbahn” by Schlagerqueen Helene Fischer, 37, candidate Lena recently wanted to convince the jury. The singer seemed to be somewhere else with his thoughts before the 23-year-old’s performance. “Of course I know the song inside and out,” said the hit star skeptically. “I’ve heard that from her a lot, a lot, on a lot of big shows (Helene Fischer, editor’s note)” he admitted.
Then Florian Silbereisen chatted a bit more about the relationship with his ex. “We were a couple privately, but on stage we always tried to do our own thing,” he revealed. The former hit couple exchanged ideas backstage and discussed a lot. “But one was private, the other was professional,” emphasized the “dream ship” captain. Florian Silbereisen and Helene Fischer were a couple for ten years. Today the two are close friends.
