Overview

  • In a Playboy interview Thomas D said sleepless nights and declining strength have made him resent the aging process.
  • He reported gaining weight each year and said he has moved from lifting in the gym to a routine centered on warm-ups, stretching and yoga.
  • Smudo, Michi and And.Ypsilon have been voicing similar complaints about aging for the past 15 years.
  • To secure the group's future he enacted the 'Fanta-Gesetz', a rule that bars the band from disbanding.
  • He added that any member wishing to leave could be replaced by a younger, stronger artist so the Fantastischen Vier can continue performing after 36 years together.
