Overview

  • Wendler’s sold-out May 24 performance at Bochum’s Prater marked his first German stage appearance in over five years and lasted just 45 minutes.
  • Fans greeted him with loud “Micha, Micha” chants and applause for hits like “Sie liebt den DJ” before booing major retailers he criticized.
  • On stage he lamented that Saturn, Media Markt and Amazon declined to carry his new album, calling the refusal “bescheuertes Framing.”
  • His wife, Laura Müller, who recently gave birth to their youngest son, did not travel to Bochum to attend the concert.
  • Wendler told Sat.1 that his wife’s OnlyFans income makes performing financially unnecessary but said he returns to the stage for his fans and personal enjoyment.
