In his youth, the musician made acquaintances with police officers several times. But he was not always responsible for what he was accused of, he says.
According to his own words, the singer-songwriter Clueso (“Winner”, “Chicago”) used to have several unpleasant contacts with the police.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have a 1A police certificate,” he said in the podcast “And what do you do at the weekend?” at “Time Online”. “I was driven home very often.”
The 42-year-old, who was born Thomas Hübner in Erfurt, emphasized that he was not always primarily responsible for all the allegations. “Once I was accused of something I hadn’t done. I was skating, I was very conspicuous, had bleached hair.” The door of a drugstore was open “when the kids leaned against it. Then everyone is in, packed their bags and threw the whole junk in a bush. »
Months later, a police car pulled up during his lunch break and officers said he was “the prime suspect in a criminal offence, burglary and theft.” He was accused of having pried open a door. He replied: “Do I look like I could pry doors?”
