Singer Nicole doesn’t mind getting older. “I am so grateful for every year,” she told the German Press Agency. She is happy that she will be 60 years old on Friday, October 25th. After surviving breast cancer, she now lives much more consciously. “I learned a lot from the illness and have now done a lot of things differently for myself: I treat myself more.”
Call to enjoy
She also calls out to her fans with her new album “Carpe Diem”: “Enjoy the day!”, she said. “Very few people realize that life is finite. Everything can be different tomorrow.” Her health is “very good” today, Nicole said. She only thinks about the breast cancer that she defeated in the summer of 2022 “every now and then.”
The singer won the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) for Germany in 1982 with the song “A Little Peace”. Quitting isn’t an issue for her yet: “Now I’m looking forward to my tour,” said the Saarland native. Nicole has already released around 30 albums and sold tens of millions of records.
The singer, whose full name is Nicole Seibert, said she looks back on her career so far “full of humility and gratitude.” All the dreams she had as a child came true. “There are no coincidences.” So it was “destiny” that she competed at the ESC more than 40 years ago with the song “A Little Peace”. Nicole was the first musician to win the Grand Prix for Germany. In 1982, as a 17-year-old, she sang her way into the hearts of millions of viewers in Harrogate, England. She wanted to be a singer since she was a little girl – and learned the accordion and ballet at a very early age. Winning the Eurovision Song Contest was the start of a great career.
Desire for peace
Her successful song will never lose its relevance: “The desire for peace will be forever in people’s hearts and unbroken.” At her concerts, where “A Little Peace” is never missing, she always feels “the special magic” that the song has. “People in the audience suddenly hold hands and sing along.” She always gets goosebumps. “People will still have the song on their lips, we’ve been history for a long time.”
