Lindenberg calls for cohesion
Rock singer Udo Lindenberg has called for solidarity and mutual support in the face of the crises in the world. "Let's take each other by the hand - don't look away, support each other. Peace and love instead of hate and violence - there's no other way out of all this chaos," the 77-year-old told the UN children's charity Unicef.
Lindenberg has once again designed a Christmas greetings card for Unicef this year. It shows him ice-skating in front of a colorful peace sign.
The ice-skating theme is intended to symbolize the fragile world situation, according to a statement published by Unicef Germany in Cologne on Thursday. "It's pretty thin ice we're skating on - all these insane wars, environmental destruction, social discord, human rights violations in so many countries," said Lindenberg.
"The kids get the most of the endless madness in the world. We have to change it - there's no alternative." Proceeds from ticket sales will go towards aid programs for children worldwide.
People around the world can show their support by purchasing tickets to see Udo Lindenberg perform, as proceeds will benefit aid organizations working to improve the lives of children affected by global crises. Music can serve as a unifying force in addressing social affairs, promoting peace and love instead of hate and violence.
