SWR Marks Andy Borg’s 65th With Two-Hour Career Retrospective

At his request, the program spotlights songs alongside past setbacks.

Overview

  • The special "Glückwunsch, Andy! Florian Silbereisen feiert Andy Borg" was produced by SWR and is available on SWR, MDR and in the ARD Mediathek.
  • Florian Silbereisen hosts the broadcast, fulfilling what Borg described as a heartfelt wish.
  • The two-hour format centers on music and conversations with colleagues and longtime companions rather than a birthday party.
  • Borg reflects on difficult chapters such as his involuntary departure from the Eurovision program "Musikantenstadl."
  • The Vienna-born singer, 65, remains on tour across Germany, credits a pre-show kiss from his wife as a ritual boost, and recalls his 1982 breakthrough "Adios Amor," first heard on a snack-stand radio.
