Overview
- Bernd Ulrich said on NDR Schlager that the brothers expect to step back within one to two years and pass the baton to his daughter, singer Daniela Alfinito.
- He said the 2026 album is already finished for a June or July release, with a final Telamo contract album scheduled for 2027 before they decide on any further plans.
- The pair cited age and health as key factors in the timing and reiterated there will be no extended farewell tours.
- The remarks represent a shift from their recent message of continuing indefinitely, including their song about doing it like the Rolling Stones.
- The signal comes after more than five decades of success, including 17 German No. 1 albums, with touring sustained by strict routines such as no alcohol on the road.
