Overview
- Management confirmed that Marcel Hein died shortly before Christmas at age 37 of a sudden cardiac death.
- Reports state he lived in the greater Berlin area.
- Fantasy informed fans of a family death on their official social channels before canceling the December 28 Schlager Mania slot in Bern.
- The Bern date will not be made up because it was part of a broader multi-artist lineup rather than a standalone Fantasy concert.
- Fans have shared condolences, and Martin Hein is receiving support from his wife Melanie, known as Mela Rose, and his long-time partner Freddy Malinowski.
