Semino Rossi withdrew into private life a few weeks ago after a private and professional flight. How is he?
Semino Rossi would have had many plans around his 60th birthday on May 29th. However, concerts, TV show appearances, interview appointments and the associated trips are currently on hold. The hit star withdrew from the public at the end of April – according to a statement “for health reasons”. When will the singer be back in the spotlight?
In the detailed statement that was published on Facebook, among other things, it is said that Rossi is unlikely to appear in public until mid-June. On May 26, Rossi gave an update: From June 10th he wants to return to the concert stages. But how did the likeable Argentinian withdraw?
Soaring at the beginning of the year: success with customers, new album and love comeback
The year 2022 finally got off to a very successful start for him in many respects: his current album “Heute hab ich Zeit für dich” was released in March and made it into the top three of the charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Things also went well for the singer in his private life: In an interview with the “Bild” newspaper he announced the love comeback with his wife Gabi. The two separated in 2020 after 28 years of marriage, but have now found each other again.
In 2021, Semino Rossi also started an extensive diet: he lost almost 20 kilograms. He feels “totally comfortable” with that, he said in an interview with spot on news in mid-March. “I’ve lost weight through intermittent fasting. Since then I’ve been eating very consciously and healthily to keep it off. Lots of vegetables, few carbohydrates, meat and fish, salads and there’s yoghurt and fruit salad for breakfast,” he revealed about his meal plan.
Semino Rossi “reached his limits”
After the private and professional successes, the news of his retirement at the end of April came as a shock to many fans. The statement went into more detail about the background: “Like many other people, the current situation also weighs heavily on Semino Rossi as an artist and family man,” it says. “Emotionally, the two-year pandemic, as well as current, worrying, social and political developments, have touched him more and sapped his strength than he thought possible.” His professional successes “motivated him to push his limits” – but also required him to “start from zero to 100”.
Rossi decided “after careful consideration” to temporarily withdraw into private life. He wanted to “encourage other people affected in comparable situations (…) to deal with this challenge in order to be able to overcome it”. In addition, the singer wanted “through this step to show solidarity with all people who are just as insecure and emotionally out of balance and also shy away from the social pressure to admit this supposed weakness”.
For his birthday, Semino Rossi wishes “only health”
This also fits Semino Rossi’s modest wish for his 60th birthday: In March he explained to spot on news that he “wished only for health” – “and that I no longer have to read the news about war, violence and natural disasters in the morning”.
At that time, the singer also revealed how he would spend his day of honor: “Familial, comfortable and only with the closest friends.” He continued: “I’m not planning a big party. I just wish to be healthy and I’m happy about every birthday I can celebrate. Every new year of life is a gift. You’re as old as you feel. I feel I don’t feel like 60!”
