Herbert Grönemeyer Releases Second 'Unplugged' and Opens Up About Self-Image

The 69-year-old uses fashion to shape perception through statement glasses and occasional outfit videos.

Overview

  • Grönemeyer has issued 'Unplugged 2 – Von allem anders,' arriving 30 years after his first unplugged album.
  • The new release focuses on songs from after 1995, including well-known tracks such as 'Mensch' and 'Der Weg'.
  • He says he avoids looking at himself in mirrors and even placed his bathroom mirror to the side rather than above the sink.
  • He prefers to see himself as little as possible and, when necessary, only when made up and properly dressed.
  • He posts playful outfit clips on TikTok and Instagram but says he does not read the comments and chooses bold glasses to draw attention away from his aging face.
