Rainhard Fendrich will be 70: a life full of music and emotions!

Favoriten, Österreich - Today, on February 27, 2025, the Austropop legend Rainhard Fendrich celebrates its 70th birthday. At the same time, his new album "Eyeline hit" reaches first place on the Austrian charts - another chapter of success in his impressive career. Fendrich, who became known not only as a singer, but also as an actor, reflects in a conversation with the "crown" of a fulfilling and often challenging life. He looks back on the big tour for his 45th anniversary of the stage, which leads all over Austria. "It's a bit of a feeling like before school work," says the artist, who is also motivated by the high expectations. Interested parties should be quick to get tickets because some concerts are already sold out.

Fendrich was born on February 27, 1955 in Vienna-Alsergrund and grew up in financially modest conditions. He took his first musical step in puberty when he began to write poems and to set them. After his debut at the theater, he was steeply uphill - with hits like "Strada del Sole" and "I am from Austria" he became known not only in Austria, but also beyond the borders. Despite the successes, Fendrich also had to fight with personal tragedies, such as the early death of his daughter, which shaped him sustainably. After his return as a solo artist after the Austria 3 project, which he founded with Wolfgang Ambros and Georg Danzer, Fendrich is completely on his own today. He enjoys the recognition of his critics and remains relevant because of his critical look at society, as he emphasizes in an interview with news.at.
