Pop star Frank Zander (81), recently released from the hospital, cannot take part in his family’s traditional Christmas party for homeless people in Berlin. “We had to pay attention to the doctors’ advice, because health comes first,” his son Marcus Zander told the German Press Agency on Thursday evening. The singer recorded a video message that will be shown during the celebration in Berlin-Neukölln.
The pop singer was recently in the hospital for several days. “Vadder didn’t make the decision easy for himself, but he’s just too weak on his feet,” wrote his son Marcus about his current state of health. And: “My son and I will greet the guests at the door tomorrow, because it is and remains a family celebration with all our hearts.”
Since 1995, Frank Zander (“Here Comes Kurt”), with his family and with the support of friends, sponsors and volunteers, has been inviting thousands of poor people to a celebration before Christmas. This year’s edition is the 29th celebration of its kind.
