Pictures from his life - Baker, folk musician, rock star - Heino turns 85
Heino turns 85 years old. It is the first birthday in decades that the singer has to celebrate without his wife Hannelore, who passed away at the beginning of November. When an old man has just become a widower and Christmas is approaching, the grief and fear of loneliness often become really great. He hopes "that I get through the Christmas holidays reasonably well", Heino said in a recent interview. After the death of his wife, however, he can feel supported by the sympathy of his fans. By his own admission, he finds family with his manager.
Heino is perhaps the most famous German singer
The reflective mood fits in with the church tour Heino is currently on. Such a tour was his wife's wish, says the artist, addressing critics who find the seamless continuation of the tour irreverent. But Heino says he is "very Catholic" and believes in a reunion.
The contemplative and devout Heino is a new version of perhaps Germany's best-known singer. Before that, the trained baker was a folk musician, pop singer and even a rocker when he made a comeback a few years ago. Pictures from an eventful life.
