Ralph Siegel is fighting cancer again. Wife Laura reports “unbelievable pain,” but also plans for the producer’s 80th birthday next year.
Music producer Ralph Siegel (78) is in poor health again. The cancer is back and he currently has to take it easy again.
“Now we have the same thing again in the 5th thoracic vertebra. And unfortunately the thoracic vertebra is now broken. It’s unbelievable pain,” reported his wife Laura Siegel on Thursday on the sidelines of their charity Oktoberfest event in aid of sick children. “The [Brustwirbel] But he should now grow together again, so he should lie down a lot, rest a lot, and not go to events right now,” she adds.
Almost 20 years ago, Ralph Siegel was first diagnosed with cancer. He fought his way through the full medical program again and again. But now the disease has returned “for the fourth time,” as the magazine summarizes.
And how does the Munich musician and composer react to the current situation? “He hasn’t lost his sense of humor. He’s always making his jokes. And sometimes I think: Now stop when he says: Next week I won’t even know whether I’ll be there,” says Laura of his “really macabre ones ” Sayings. But then he laughs again himself. “He’s a really great fighter,” she says full of respect for the man to whom she has been married since 2018.
Ralph Siegel is skipping Oktoberfest
Due to health conditions, Ralph Siegel will not be able to celebrate his 79th birthday on September 30th as usual at the much-loved Munich Oktoberfest. Those guests at Laura’s women’s event who know him well know what this means for him.
“He’s someone who really stays until the end,” enthuses Berlin singer and actress Jennifer Siemann about their time spent together at the Oktoberfest. “Everyone knows how generous Ralph is and how difficult it will be for him now because he is not so fit that he cannot be at the Oktoberfest today or in the next few days – maybe even on his birthday,” says Marianne Hartl . Author Patricia Riekel puts it a little more positively: “In that case I say: sorry, yes. But next year the birthday will be celebrated here again.”
Laura and Ralph Siegel have of course already talked about his approaching birthday and the big rounds in a year. “Not the 79th, but the 80th, we want to celebrate it really big. And given the circumstances, 79 is now rather small,” she reveals.
