In the face of Brexit, many Britons are trying to become citizens of EU countries - but Campino is floating against the tide: The Tote-Hosen singer is now Briton.
According to the British Embassy, Campino received a certificate of citizenship at a ceremony in Berlin. Previously, he took an oath. Ambassador Sebastian Wood posted a picture on Twitter showing him shaking hands with Campino.
On days like this I love my job. Today I had the pleasure to make the naturalization celebration for my friend and now fellow countryman #Campino! #Freundship

"On days like this, I love my job, and today I had the pleasure of holding the naturalization celebration for my friend and now fellow Campino," Wood wrote.
The Dusseldorf musician was the son of an English mother, so to speak "sleeping Brite", it was said by the embassy. What has ultimately moved Campino to the step, is still unclear. An opinion of the musician did not exist at first.
