Haftbefehl Announces Indefinite Pause From Live Performances

He said intense attention after his 2025 Netflix documentary has left him unable to perform and that he will step back to focus on recovery.

Overview

  • Haftbefehl posted on Instagram on June 21, 2026 that he is 'emotionally and physically not in the condition to perform' and will pause all live appearances.
  • The announcement follows several recent unexplained cancellations, including sets at World Club Dome and the Heroes Festival earlier this month.
  • The 2025 Netflix film 'Babo – Die Haftbefehl-Story' documented his long-term struggles with cocaine use and a past overdose that required resuscitation.
  • He gave no medical details or confirmation that current problems are linked to past drug use, leaving the status of planned arena shows and ticketing unresolved.
  • Fans and public figures offered supportive messages online, and the pause could force promoters to postpone or cancel dates while awaiting clearer updates on his recovery.
