People often say: „Anticipation is better than the experience itself.” But when I am on tour like now, I become aware of how happy this particular feeling makes me, the stage, all the trappings and the loads of people.
Sure, such a tour also means a lot of work, but the feedback I get from everywhere and everyone is a hundred times worth the effort. If we play in the giant concert halls in front of an audience of ten thousand people like last week-end in Berlin or Hamburg, the emotions and impressions are not easily put into words even after such a long career.
The entire atmosphere, the fun we have together every single minute, these are things that no money in the world can buy. When I am on stage with my team, it is exactly this mood that we pass on to the audience. I am so glad that I can experience all this one more time, and I am a bit relieved that this is only the beginning of the tour. So there are still many opportunities to celebrate a big party together. And on and on and on! This, and the music, is what I live for.
