Nena to Undergo Wrist Surgery After Fall, Two Shows Canceled or Rescheduled

Her Instagram update says she is in good hands after slipping on a wet stone and breaking her wrist.

Overview

  • The singer said in an Instagram post on June 25 that she slipped on a wet stone, suffered her first bone fracture at the wrist and was due to be operated on the following morning.
  • Organizers removed her from the Würth Open Air lineup for Friday, June 26 and announced Alphaville as the replacement act because the festival slot cannot be moved.
  • Her scheduled concert in Hannover, originally set for June 28, has been postponed to July 12 with existing tickets remaining valid and refunds available through the point of purchase.
  • A pre-recorded TV appearance on the ARD 'Schlagerbooom Open Air' will still be broadcast as planned because the show was recorded in advance.
  • Nena has a roughly 45‑date summer tour across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark and her team and promoters say further short-term adjustments may follow depending on her recovery.
