Pop singer Guildo Horn has two reasons to toast: he is celebrating his 60th birthday and it is also the 25th anniversary of his appearance at the ESC. In the starinterview, Horn talks about aging, copycats and how he looks at today’s Eurovision Song Contest.
Dear Mr. Horn, you are turning 60, and at the same time your legendary performance at the Eurovision Song Contest was 25 years ago. Which anniversary is the most important?
Inside, I’m a rather silent observer of my aging process and often forget what I’ve experienced and done in my young life. But: This year we are celebrating! And everything that comes! By the way, I’ll be 70 years old on February 15th, based on artist age. Schlager music lets you mature faster – or let’s say: wither.
