A stack of pancakes makes Freddy Quinn happy
The singer and actor Freddy Quinn will be 94 years old on Saturday, but the famous senior is far away from idleness and doing nothing. Instead, there is a move.
Schlager singer Freddy Quinn (93) wants to move again soon. “I am cheerfully excited because our move to an old farm is imminent. We are very common here. Nature, the silence-I can enjoy that very well,” said Quinn of the German Press Agency in Hamburg.
The Austrian lives with his wife Rosi, who was 17 years younger. On Saturday the entertainer, who had withdrawn from the public years ago, will be 94 years old.
No more tricks, but no reason to complain
For his age, he is doing excellently. “That may be surprising for one or the other. I keep hearing that I was blind, that it ends with me or that I would no longer be in this world.” But that is nonsense. “Of course I don’t list any tricks at home. But considering my age, I can say: someone thinks it means well with me.” He and his wife are simply happy that – apart from the usual ailments such as knee problems and a declining hearing – there is no reason to complain.
He also has the greatest pleasure in eating: “Good food also makes me happy. I also enjoy repairing watches or strolling over flea markets. Doesn’t sound very exciting, not? But it is so simple: Serve a stack of patterns – and you will experience me in great joy.” Pancakes is a kind of thin pancake, which is mostly filled and is considered an Austrian specialty.
Quinn is enthusiastic about Roland Kaiser
Although music has accompanied him all his life, he rarely listens to music. “In fact, I get through the day very well without the radio running. I prefer to enjoy the world right around me.” If he turns on, he likes to listen to country music. “I think Peter Maffay is good, Roland Kaiser impresses me as an artist.”
Quinn was discovered in the “Washington Bar” on St. Pauli – the starting point of his extraordinary career. In the 1950s and 1960s, the singer recorded numerous number one hits with the deep baritone voice: “Heimweh”, “The guitar and the sea” or “Junge, come again soon” became classics, followed by numerous music films.
