A milestone birthday and a sold-out arena: Tote-Hosen frontman Campino lets it rip for his 60th in his hometown Düsseldorf – and thanks his fans for the “huge luck”.
Campino celebrated his 60th birthday with the Toten Hosen in Düsseldorf with a home game in front of 42,000 spectators in the sold-out arena.
“I’m finally 60 and not just close anymore. And now I’m going to tell you what used to be,” Campino sang on Friday night in the specially rewritten song “Wort zum Sonntag”. The new chorus continued with “We’re not yet 70…”. The singer of the Düsseldorf band turned 60 on Wednesday. “Happy Birthday” rang out from the audience.
The band is also celebrating their 40th anniversary with the current tour “Everything out of love – 40 years of the Toten Hosen”. “What a great luck it is to be able to celebrate with you here tonight,” said Campino. The band had to give their first concert in Düsseldorf in October 1982 under a bridge over the Rhine, he reported. “We brought the generator ourselves. No club in Düsseldorf wanted to let us play. But now everything is fine again.” The concert is the 76th of the Hosen in Düsseldorf.
After open-air concerts in Cologne, Rostock and Munich, the two performances on Friday and Saturday in Düsseldorf with a total of 84,000 spectators are both sold out. Since the beginning of the month, the five Düsseldorfers have been the band with the most number one records in Germany (12), even ahead of the Beatles, with their anniversary album “Everything from love: 40 years of the Toten Hosen”.
