Jürgen Drews Tears Up at Oktoberfest Interview Praising Wife Ramona

The 80-year-old retiree frames his return as a one-off appearance during promotion for an October album with his daughter.

Overview

  • During an ARD Brisant interview at the Wiesn, Drews became visibly emotional and declared his deep love for his wife Ramona.
  • Drews attended the Oktoberfest with Ramona, daughter Joelina and colleague Florian Silbereisen, joining the crowd in the Schottenhamel tent for the mayor’s keg tapping.
  • He recounted a past threat on the Theresienwiese, saying an unknown man yelled he would hit him while Drews was walking to the Käferzelt, and that he defused it by moving on.
  • At Heidi Klum’s televised pre-Wiesn party, he performed “Ein Bett im Kornfeld,” appeared health-limited and relied on playback, and emphasized the show was not a comeback.
  • Coverage notes a new album slated for October that includes a duet with Joelina, aligning with his selective public appearances since retiring in 2022 due to polyneuropathy.
