Ute Freudenberg Reports Symptom-Free Recovery, Recalls Ordeal of Final Concert

The singer outlined her recovery on MDR’s Riverboat.

Overview

  • In the October 3 Riverboat episode, the 69-year-old said she currently feels symptom-free and has regained her handwriting after three years.
  • She recalled that at her December 22, 2023 farewell in Erfurt she needed two 600 mg ibuprofen to lift her arm because of severe pain.
  • She described how her body often failed to respond on the farewell tour, making it difficult to walk or approach people on stage, though the performances ultimately succeeded.
  • At host Kim Fisher’s prompting, Freudenberg sang a short rendition of her hit Jugendliebe in the studio.
  • She expects no return to public stages but stays active with private singing, trampoline sessions with playbacks, table tennis, driving trips, and visits including to Mary Roos in Hamburg.
