Actually, Herbert Grönemeyer tends to hold back with details about his private life. Actually. In a radio show, the singer has now told why it was important to him to marry again.

Obviously his faith and his parents also played a role. "I am an old Protestant, my father and mother had a very stable marriage," said the 62-year-old Austrian radio station Ö3. To confess to someone, could free many forces and also have to do with attitude.

"I am a wild romanticist," said Grönemeyer in an interview - without explaining his description in more detail. The wedding was a nice party. "It was nice." Also for his children, it was "ok and beautiful" that her father had remarried and a woman by his side, said the singer. "That has to do with the person."

A fragrant party

Actually, Herbert Grönemeyer tends to hold back with details about his private life. Actually. In a radio show, the singer has now told why it was important to him to marry again.

Obviously his faith and his parents also played a role. "I am an old Protestant, my father and mother had a very stable marriage," said the 62-year-old Austrian radio station Ö3. To confess to someone, could free many forces and also have to do with attitude.

"I am a wild romanticist," said Grönemeyer in an interview - without explaining his description in more detail. The wedding was a nice party. "It was nice." In this photo you can see Grönemeyer at a concert in Berlin. Here he sings at the closing rally of a demonstration against racism and right-wing under the motto "Indivisible".

The singer is always committed against right-wing violence. It was not until August that he appeared at the open-air music festival "Jamel rocks the forester". The festival, which sees itself as an event against right-wing extremism and tolerance, took place for the 12th time this year.

Last year he rocked the stage with Chris Martin of Coldplay. The two musicians performed together before the G20 summit at the Global Citizen Festival in the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg.

Grönemeyer also received an award this year: he received the "Legend" Award at the "GQ Men of the Year" awards ceremony.

Grönemeyer's first wife died of cancer 20 years ago. He did not feel an inner conflict because of his renewed marriage, he said. "If I had gone first, I would have wanted my wife to be happy again." For him, sad mourning to hold someone in honor. At the same time, one could try to "tinker with happiness".

When asked about his wife's age, the singer said she was "around 40". The age difference does not seem to bother the couple: "She looks better than I. Otherwise, age is immaterial, it just turned out that way."

Despite these little insights, the singer emphasized how important his privacy was to him. "We are glad that we also have a private life, that's the same with my wife and also with my children," said Grönemeyer. "We do not open the door for tabloid media." ("Aufgescheucht and nervous, we are Germans light food" - read Herbert Grönemeyer in the SPIEGEL conversation)
