Wolfgang Niedecken Marks 75th Year With BAP’s 50th, Announces ‘Zielgerade’ 19-City Tour

He will rely on his family to tell him when to stop performing.

Overview

  • The band will tour Germany, Austria and Switzerland in November to mark its 50th anniversary, with 19 dates under the title "Zielgerade".
  • Niedecken said he will not emulate centenarian performer Johannes Heesters by staying on stage into extreme old age.
  • He has no plans for a designated farewell tour but warned that most BAP shows are behind them and encouraged fans not to wait.
  • The singer turns 75 on March 30 and says he feels "50-plus" despite occasionally reflecting on time left.
  • He expects life after the stage to stay busy, saying he would spend more time reading.
