Moving from the musical to the political stage - Udo Lindenberg can not imagine that. At the age of 72, he still feels a bit too young, said the singer in an interview with the editorial network Germany.

"Adenauer was also around 90," said Lindenberg in it. He thinks he has to "reach". Of course he did not mean that seriously. "I'm very interested in politics, but you have to focus on this job and put the music in the back of the game, which of course I can not do."

In addition, his biorhythm would stand in the way of a career in politics. The working hours of politics would not suit him. "A nightingale like me can not attend any cabinet meetings in the morning," the musician said. "Federal President would be better."

Lindenberg on politics: Udo for President

Should he become Germany's Federal President, he wishes, however, that other countries follow suit. "Imagine: Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Lady Gaga and Udo Lindenberg meet at night and negotiate world peace," Lindenberg said. "A world ruled by rock singers would be a better one."
