Roland Kaiser remembers Udo Jürgens: An emotional farewell on Instagram

In an emotional Instagram post, the well-known pop singer Roland Kaiser remembered his late colleague Udo Jürgens. Jürgens would have been 90 years old on September 30th, and Kaiser took the opportunity to express his deep regret over his loss in a nostalgic look back. The 72-year-old Kaiser, who is one of Germany's biggest stars with over 90 million records sold, used to work closely with Jürgens, who even sold more than 105 million albums during his career.

In the posting, Kaiser shows a picture of himself and Udo Jürgens having a beer, accompanied by the message: “Dear Udo, I still miss you.” These words not only stirred emotions among Kaiser's fan base, but also met with great approval in the comments. Users expressed their delight at Jürgen's unique contributions to music, highlighting that his songs will remain in people's hearts forever.

Memory of an exceptional artist

In his post, Roland Kaiser reflects on Udo Jürgens' artistic abilities. “He was not only a great singer, a fantastic composer... he was also an artist who stood for entertainment with attitude like no other,” Kaiser praises his friend and mentor. It becomes clear that Jürgens' memories are of great importance to Kaiser and reflect an emotional connection.

Udo Jürgens, who is known for his timeless hits such as “But please with cream”, died on December 21, 2014 at the age of 80 due to heart failure during a walk on Lake Constance. He remained active in the music business until his death and was just beginning his 25th tour. The question of whether he expected too much of himself is often discussed, especially given the artists' advanced age.

The fans' concerns also benefit Roland Kaiser, who recently announced that he would be going back on tour in 2025. Due to popular demand, he added two additional performances to his concerts. However, many fans are concerned about the health challenges Kaiser could face, pointing to the fate of Udo Jürgens.

It is clear that the loss of Udo Jürgens not only resonates with Roland Kaiser, but remains deeply anchored in the German music scene. The memories of such artists who made significant contributions to music are indispensable to many and ensure that their music will continue to be appreciated in the future.
