Konstantin Wecker Cancels Berlin Cathedral Concert Over Health Reasons

Management attributes the cancellation to illness, with refunds starting.

Overview

  • The Wednesday performance of Wecker’s ‘Lieder meines Lebens’ at the Berliner Dom has been called off for medical reasons, according to his management.
  • Tickets will be refunded at the original point of purchase, and organizers are working to identify a suitable replacement date.
  • Wecker, 78, has recently disclosed a nerve disease that limits his ability to play piano, with repeated failures in his left hand.
  • He has described the condition as a gradual worsening and linked lasting physical damage to years of alcohol and drug use.
  • The canceled program was conceived as a retrospective, featuring songs such as ‘Wenn der Sommer nicht mehr weit ist’ and the anti-Nazi ballad ‘Willi’.
