Pop singer Roland Kaiser (71) can look forward to a very special Christmas present this year: the Berlin wax museum Madame Tussauds is honoring the musician with its own wax figure.
Kaiser is currently visiting London to create the lifelike wax figure, where the final details are being measured. “It is an extraordinary honor for me to become part of this extraordinary collection,” Roland Kaiser is quoted as saying in a press release. “I was able to experience first-hand the dedication and craftsmanship with which the talented artists at Madame Tussauds work.”
The 71-year-old visited the “Merlin Magic Making” studios in the British capital, where many of the wax figures for the numerous museums around the world are made. 21 artists have been working on the musician’s doppelganger for a total of twelve months. “It’s crazy to see how many details are already visible,” he marvels. At the end, the wax figure receives a very special outfit: Kaiser donates a stage look from his private fund.
The wax figure is scheduled to be unveiled in Berlin in summer 2024.
