Pop star Jürgen Drews will be on stage for the last time on TV on Saturday. The Silbereisen show promises to be very emotional.
The “King of Mallorca” says goodbye: With the TV show “The big hit farewell” (January 14, the first, 8:15 p.m.), moderator Florian Silbereisen (41) delivers a big farewell show for Jürgen Drews (77): Der Schlagerstar is on stage one last time to sing his hits.
As pictures from the show already show, Drews, dressed in a bright, sparkling suit with a bow tie, is supported by wife Ramona (49) and daughter Joelina (27), among others. The father-daughter duo also performs a duet together in front of the audience. The 77-year-old can not only be seen in a party mood on the recordings. In one picture he seems to be wiping a tear from his eye.
The show was recorded in Leipzig on October 22nd. It will feature numerous stars such as Maite Kelly (43), Roland Kaiser (70), Ben Zucker (39), Ross Antony (48), Mickie Krause (52), Thomas Anders (59), David Hasselhoff (70), Andy Borg (62), Beatrice Egli (34) or Andreas Gabalier (38).
Drews had announced farewell to Silbereisen
Jürgen Drews had already said goodbye to the tour stage at the beginning of October. The pop star performed live for the last time with a band in Ellmau am Wilden Kaiser, Austria. The 77-year-old had announced the end of his career a few weeks earlier with Florian Silbereisen.
Drews, who celebrated his breakthrough in 1976 with the song “Ein Bett im Kornfeld”, said his farewell to TV viewers in July 2022. “Since I’m at an age when others have long been retired, I also said to myself: someday it’ll be good,” said the singer on the show “The big hit beach party 2022 – it starts again!” (The first) by Silbereisen. He made the decision together with his wife Ramona. The singer had previously made it public that he suffered from polyneuropathy, a nerve disease that limits mobility.
