In July, Jürgen Drews announces the end of his career. But now the "King of Mallorca" surprises the fans with an appearance in the "ZDF TV Garden". The 77-year-old suffers from a nervous disease that limits his mobility. Nevertheless, he is doing "dazzlingly", assures the Schlager star.
A few weeks ago, Jürgen Drews announced that he would soon be leaving the stage. But now he has once again surprised the audience present and the viewers in front of the TV sets. Drews performed to a standing ovation in the "ZDF TV Garden".
Moderator Andrea Kiewel had asked that those present get up if possible, "because now there is a surprise guest who we have not announced. A huge round of applause, a warm welcome for Her Majesty, the King of Mallorca, our Uncle Jürgen, the legend, the one and only: Jürgen Drews."
The singer was received with cheers. "All I can say is I'm doing great," said Drews. He joked: "Maybe I should have stopped more often, I've never had such success." The two then reminisced a bit.
In July 1989, Drews made his debut on TV Garden. "Sometime, somewhere, somehow (we'll see each other again)" he sang at the time. He also sang the song at today's performance. "Who knows, maybe we'll see each other sometime. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will always remember you," Drews said after the song. Then he also agreed to his hit "Ein Bett im Kornfeld".
The "King of Mallorca" announced in July that he would end his career. "Since I'm of an age when others have long been retired, I also said to myself: someday it'll be good," he said, among other things, in a single player on the show "The Big Schlager Beach Party 2022 – Here we go again!" told by Florian Silbereisen.
Last year, Drews revealed that he suffers from polyneuropathy, a neurological disorder that limits his ability to move. His last show, also "at Florian's," should then be seen in the fall.
