Your success goes beyond all dimensions. But Helene Fischer has also worked hard for it. As she now reveals, she almost paid a high price for it a few years ago. That's why it was important to go into gentle gear.
In her own words, Helene Fischer was on the verge of burnout before the 2019 corona pandemic. "Thank God I got the curve," she says in a half-hour interview on Swiss television SRF.
"When you as an artist don't really feel any emotions anymore, when you just find everything exhausting, you have to be honest with yourself and step on the brakes," adds the 38-year-old. Fischer had already reported on a talk show in 2019 that she was tired and sick.
"It almost sounds a bit like burnout," says moderator Urs Gredig in the new interview. "I was probably on the verge of that," Fischer replies.
Despite all the horror it brought to the world, she was also able to use the pandemic as a creative break, says the singer. She worked a lot on her music: "I wanted to open the door a bit and bring in a little more personality."
After the release of her seventh and self-titled studio album, Fischer toured almost continuously in 2017 and 2018. More than 60 indoor concerts were soon followed by a stadium tour. Anyone who has seen the singer live knows that she is extremely physically demanding on stage.
If no larger live shows were possible during the pandemic, Fischer only gave a single Germany concert in 2022. However, around 130,000 spectators turned up for the mammoth event in Munich. In the coming year, however, the singer will be on tour again, with 70 concerts in Germany and neighboring countries. The focus is on her album "Rausch", which was released in 2021.
