Smudo from the Fantastischen Vier fell and injured during a performance in Bonn on Friday. Therefore, the band cancels today’s concert.
Rapper Smudo (54) from the Fantastischen Vier injured himself on stage at a concert. “Yesterday in Bonn, Smudo tore a tendon in his knee during the encore on stage,” the band said on Facebook on Saturday. Unfortunately, the concert planned for this Saturday in Osnabrück has to be postponed.
“We’re trying to find an alternative date in 2023, tickets remain valid,” said the hip-hop group, also known as Fanta 4. “Get well soon Smudo!”
Smudo, whose real name is Michael Bernd Schmidt, has lived in Hamburg for decades. The concert organizer announced that he had an unfortunate fall in the encore part of the almost two-hour concert on the Hofgartenwiese in front of Bonn University. Before that, the four rappers would have delivered a concert that was euphorically celebrated by 14,000 spectators. The Fantastischen Vier (“Die Da!?!”) are regarded as the pioneers of German recitative, and in 1989 the band gave their first concert under this name.
