Bill and Tom Kaulitz:

Childhood, biography of Bill Kaulitz

The brothers were born in Leipzig on September 1, 1989. Due to the divorce of his parents, when the twins were seven years old, Bill began to disagree with his peers and often entered into conflict situations. Two years later, the family moved to the village of Leutsche. Their mother Simone remarries musician Gordon Trumer, who later supported the twin teenagers in their musical aspirations.

In the village, Bill's life was not sweet, because of his non-standard appearance, he became an outcast, classmates often joked and teased the guy. But Bill was not going to change anything in himself, at 12 he pierced his tongue and eyebrow, and dyed his hair bright red, and then black.

Once on Halloween, Bill dressed up as a vampire, he summed up his eyes with black pencil, painted his nails with black varnish. The guy liked the image so much that he began to use it in everyday life. Bill's appearance in the village only caused outrage.

Soon the twins, after consulting, decide that they need to leave the village and go to the city. But they were still children, naturally they were not allowed to go anywhere, the twins had to finish school.

Tokio Hotel

When Bill turns 13, he and his brother create his music group Devilish and the brothers perform in the bars of Magdeburg, which is located near their village. Later, two more boys join them, and the group changes its name to Tokio Hotel.

After a while, Bill decided to try his hand at a talent show, but did not make it to the quarterfinals. But it was Bill's participation in the talent show that drew the attention of producer Peter Hoffman to him, who took up the Tokio Hotel group.

Bill was fascinated by show business and quickly got used to it. So, not yet graduating from school, he becomes the lead singer of the group.

From that moment on, the Kaulitz brothers grow up in front of their audience. During this time, Bill changed his image more than once, and continues to amaze with his appearance, and his style is inherited by girls from all over the world.

The first song of the group was "Durch den Monsun", and a month later the group released their first album "Schrei".

The twin brothers begin a busy life with constant tours, which once affected the soloist's health, Bill had to undergo vocal cord surgery.

With increasing popularity, Bill and Tom are invited to serve on the jury for the show. "Germany is looking for a superstar"

In 2010, Bill tries himself as a model. Together with his brother, he advocates for the protection of animals, in particular, for Euro 2012, they took part in a campaign against the extermination of animals in Ukraine.

And in 2011 he received the STAR PLANETE award. Several times the musician took the championship in the category "International Male Artist".

Bill Kaulitz's personal life

Bill Kaulitz keeps his personal life behind seven locks. The producer also helps to hide the brothers' private life in order to keep the popularity of the group on top.

As Bill himself stated, since the inception of the group, the musician has less time for his personal life. Therefore, he had only a few novels, about which almost nothing is known. In this regard, rumors began to appear about the musician's homosexuality. But Bill denies all the rumors and claims that he has not yet met the one with whom he would like to spend his life.

There were also rumors that Bill did not have a long affair with Nikki Ramsay, daughter of British TV presenter Gordon Ramsay. But this novel is also in doubt. Although the girl claims that she and Bill had a relationship and did not last long, and, despite the breakup, she and Bill maintained a warm relationship.

A tough, even aggressive appearance, but if you look in the eyes, you can see a delicate, vulnerable nature. The person who loves his brother most of all and still suffers from a lack of parental warmth in childhood.

Bill and his brother's childhood

The future vocalist of the infamous group was born in Leipzig a year before the GDR and West Berlin became part of a unified Germany. Bill was born 10 minutes earlier than his twin brother, and this difference determined the relationship of the boys for life: the elder takes care of the younger, and Tom listens to Bill's opinion in everything. When they were 7 years old, the parents of the children, Jörg and Simona, divorced, and two years later the mother took the twins to Leutsch (a small village near Magdeburg).

There are constant heated discussions about Bill and Tom's childhood. The brothers themselves are very reluctant to discuss the reasons why the mother and father divorced. What is known for sure - they communicate little with their own father, do not feel special love for him. And the stepfather, musician Gordon Trumper, on the contrary, is on excellent terms with them. According to Bill, it was Gordon who understood his desire to advance in music and supported him already in early childhood.

Mr. Jörg said in an interview with BILD in 2012: “Tom rebuked me many times for leaving their mother. This is a lie, she was very ambitious, she wanted to live an active life, but I wanted a quiet life, she decided to leave herself. "

What kind of childhood did the twins have in terms of behavior? They say that after moving to Leitsch they were left to their own devices and hardly went to school. Here's what Bill said about it: “We grew up in an environment where drugs and alcohol were the norm among our peers. But this does not mean that we were the same! "

The future leader of "Tokio Hotel" really did not have a well-behaved behavior in childhood: at the age of 12, he pierced his eyebrows and tongue, and dyed his long hair either black or red. Because of this, he often “shook off” his peers in the village, teased and beat him. In the village where the brothers grew up, the guy's appearance caused outrage and condemnation. The twins decide to escape to the city, but the attempt to become independent was stopped by their mother and stepfather: first graduate from school, and then think about independence!

And still they made themselves known - in 2001 a musical duet called "Devilish" was created. The duo of Bill and Tom was almost immediately joined by Georg Listing and Gustav Feber. Performing in a small club in Magdeburg, the group simultaneously recorded songs on CDs and sold them. In total, they sold about three hundred different discs without a title, and now it is a great pleasure for the fans of the brothers to become the owner of one of them.

The emergence of the group "Tokio Hotel"

In 2003 Peter Hoffman accidentally wandered over to the Devilish show. Yes, the same one that produced "The Doors" in due time! He still perceives the desire to drink a glass of beer in “Gr ö ninger Bad "as a sign from above:" I listened to them and thought: damn it, these guys are worth doing, they will be successful! " Hoffman took care of the little-known four and insisted on changing the name to Tokio Hotel.

The staff of the "Tokio Hotel" team: Tom and Bill Kaulitz, Gustav Schaefer and Georg Listing.

15 songs were immediately written, 12 of them were selected - the plan was to release a large album. On August 15, 2003, one of the songs, "Through the monsoon" (Durch den Monsun), received a complete arrangement and was recorded "cleanly". It became the first full-fledged single of the band. Since the band's name had a "Japanese" connotation, Hoffman suggested recording a second version in Japanese - "Monsun o koete".

Both versions of the song were auditioned by Sony BMG, and a video contract was immediately awarded. Since all four were minors, the documents were signed by the mother of the twins, Simone Kaulitz-Trümper. By the way, she also signed the contract with Hoffman. Later, the boys' father tried to claim financial custody of his sons, but met with stiff rebuff from both his ex-wife and themselves.

On August 16 of the same year, the single "Through the Monsoon" was released on German TV channels. In less than two weeks (from 16 to 26 August), the clip rose from 15th to 1st place! In Austria, the song was also received "with a bang", it was played on all music channels.

Hoffman, as a real specialist in terms of promotion, did not limit himself to the purely musical sphere. In the German youth magazine "Bravo" his friend Alex Gernandt worked as deputy editor, and before his contract with Sony BMG Peter gave him a few singles to listen to. "How cool they are!" - Alex declared enthusiastically. With his submission, the portrait of the four was placed on the cover of the magazine even before the first song was released on television.

Triumphal march around the world

In 2005, the first big album of the group saw the light, it was called "Shout", and almost immediately the video of the same name was shot. The band and Hoffman took a big risk by re-dubbing the song for the video - Bill's voice suddenly began to break. Despite this, the video instantly took first place on all music channels.

Tokio Hotel - Schrei

2006, March 11 - on K ö nig-Pilsener-Arena hosted the first big Tokio Hotel concert. At the end of the concert, in front of almost 12 thousand spectators, they were awarded the prize. For beginners - and the prestigious Arena award in Oberhausen! Before them, only recognized stars were honored with such an honor, for example - Whitney Houston and Paul McCartney.

Glory fell on the German guys. By December 2006, almost half a million discs had been sold, the number of sold tickets for concerts exceeded 200,000. Alex Gernandt, who still worked at Bravo, rubbed his hands contentedly: the group's photo had already been posted on the cover of the magazine 13 times, which (understandable business!) allowed to significantly increase the circulation.

In March of the same year, three new songs were written specially for the breaking voice of Bill: "Blackness", "Confession" and "Topic No. 1". They have been included on a new studio album called Shout Out - As Loud As You Can. In September, the song from this compilation "The Last Day" took the top line in all the world charts, and the album itself sold better than the compilations of Jon Bon Jovi and The Rolling Stones, which were released at the same time.

The first city outside Germany, where Tokio Hotel decided to give a concert, was ... Moscow! A very different audience gathered at the concert in Luzhniki: from children with parents to people of almost retirement age - everyone wanted to look at the German stars! Kaulitz performed his already old single "Save Me" in a new version - not in a boyish thin voice, but in bass semitones, and the new version was received with enthusiasm by the audience. During the concert, all four threw wet towels and drumsticks to the audience: now pieces of this fabric and wood are a very expensive rarity among fans. In 2007, the group once again came to Moscow to receive the Muz-TV award.

The German boy band has visited Moscow many more times, and in 2016 a series of concerts almost came under threat. Women who had teenage children formed a militant group and demanded that the performance be canceled. The reason was the video "Feel It All", where the main character behaved, in their opinion, in an inappropriate way.

Bill's personal life and interesting facts

The constant change of image, causing unisex costumes, unusual hairstyles and bright "non-male" make-up, scandalous behavior on the stage - all this causes on the one hand the indignation of the "well-behaved" audience, and at the same time heats up the love of the fans. For example, at the first concert in Moscow, Bill was so "sold out" that he began to play obscene harassment to his brother right on the stage. This, and not only, gave rise to rumors about the "wrong" relationship of the twins, and too little information leaked into the press about the novels of Tom and Bill with women. With whom Bill "turns love" and who his girlfriend was, it was known for sure only once: Nikki Ramsay, the daughter of a popular English showman, confirmed that they had a relationship.

In 2015, a photo of his older brother got into the press, where he was captured arm in arm with Liz Vanderpump, the star of the American reality show "Real Housewives". Everything would be fine, but a beautiful lady in all respects was 54 years old at that time! In response to journalists' questions: "Is this love?" - Bill did not confirm or deny the connection with the woman suitable for his mother. He "added fuel to the fire" with a statement: "I am constantly waiting for a miracle, I want to meet a person who will change my life drastically, and I don't care what age and gender he is." Oh how ...

Recently (probably because he has matured) Bill changed his “luscious” image to a more masculine one. Not all fans took it positively: "He was such a sweetheart 5-6 years ago, what did he do to himself?"

Not only suspicious orientation and shocking creativity cause excitement around the leader of "Tokio Hotel". Now he declares that he has become a convinced vegetarian, then suddenly on the Internet he shares his favorite recipes for pizza with chicken and milkshake. The brothers are provocative in public, but do not like to be interviewed at home.

But the brothers always treat animals with the same reverent: according to them, in childhood they fed and looked after stray dogs. Now several dogs live with Bill and Tom, their biggest favorite is the bulldog Pumbaa, they also had a cat Kazimir. The brothers have been active members of the global animal welfare organization PETA for many years. In 2012, they publicly resented the extermination of stray dogs in Ukraine ahead of the European soccer championship. They never wear natural fur or leather.

Scandals haunt Bill and Tom all the time: not so long ago there was a rumor that the girl of Kaulitz's younger brother was forced to part with him and have face plastic surgery, as the fans threatened to disfigure her. Their adoptive father, Gordon Trumper, had to delete their YouTube account twice due to indiscreet questions and insults.

Tokio Hotel is a very popular group from Germany, which was founded in 2001, but still continues its active musical activity, releasing new songs and giving concerts in various cities around the world. It was originally a duo consisting of the founding brothers Kaulitz. Bill played the lead singer, while his twin Tom played the guitar. Later they were joined by bassist Georg Listing and drummer Gustav Schaefer. It is worth noting that at that time all members of the group were no more than 14 years old.

Now all of them, undoubtedly, have matured, but for many years the team has been holding the top lines in the charts and is not going to concede them. The leader of Tokio Hotel is Bill Kaulitz. Who is he?

Biography of Kaulitz

Bill Kaulitz was born on September 1, 1989 in Leipzig, 10 minutes earlier than his younger brother Tom. This seemingly small time difference played a role in shaping the relationship between the twins. Since childhood, Bill has taken care of Tom, and he respects the opinion of the elder very much and listens to him.

The Kaulitz brothers spent their childhood in Leipzig. But at the age of 7, the boys' parents divorced. Their mother, Simone Kaulitz, transported the children to the small village of Leutsch, near Magdeburg. There, two years later, she married again, but to the musician Gordon Trumper. They practically do not talk about relationships in the Kaulitz family, but it is known that the brothers hardly communicate with their own father. But the stepfather not only got along well with the twins, but also supported their musical endeavors, as he studied music himself.

School time for Bill passed in an atmosphere of incomprehension on the part of his peers. At the age of 12, he got himself pierced, began to dye his hair black or red, and wear dark varnish on his nails. All these manifestations of self caused violent indignation village boys. Bill was condemned, teased by the girl and even beaten. Tom also got it, because he always got involved in a fight. But the elder Kaulitz was not about to deviate from his individuality. The twins even decided to escape to the city, but their mother and stepfather stopped them, because the boys had to at least finish school.

Creative career

Kaulitz were able to declare themselves. And even do it at 13! Their love of music helped them begin to create their own story, which continues to this day.

Start

In 2001, Bill and Tom formed a duo, which originally had the name Devilish, which means "devilish". Students at the Kaulitz school ridiculed the brothers' new hobby. Despite the general disapproval, they believed in themselves and did not intend to stop. Georg Listing and Gustav Schaefer soon joined the group. The four began rehearsing in the Kaulitz family garage, giving small concerts, independently recording their songs on CDs and selling them.

One of the days of 2003 became a very important event for future stars. The band performed that evening in a bar where Peter Hoffman, a famous producer, accidentally dropped in. According to him, this coincidence was a sign. Hearing the performance of Devilish, the producer decided that he must certainly take care of these guys, and took them under his wing. It was Peter Hoffman who insisted that the band change their name to Tokio Hotel.

Young musicians began working on musical material almost immediately after meeting Hoffman. About 15 songs were written, of which 12 were eventually selected. The first full-fledged single of the band was the song Durch den Monsun (from German - Through the monsoon), which was recorded professionally and received a complete arrangement. A little later, a Japanese version was created, since the name of the group was associated with this country. And after a while a contract was signed to shoot a video.

In August 2005, the first single was released. In two weeks, the clip took off to first place. It was very often played on music channels not only in Germany, but also in Austria. This is how the success story for Tokio Hotel began. Hoffman even managed to get the portrait of the rising stars to be published in the German youth magazine Bravo. And already in September the group released their first studio album, which was called Schrei (Shout). Despite the fact that Bill's voice suddenly began to break, the compositions gained immense popularity. The album includes singles:

1. Schrei.
2. Rette mich.
3. Der letzte Tag.

A triumphant event for the history of the group was the first big concert of Tokio Hotel, which was attended by almost 12 thousand people. On March 11, 2006 the ensemble performed on the stage of the Arena in Oberhausen. At the end of the concert, they were presented with an award, which made them real stars. Prior to that, such an award was received only by already recognized stars. For example, Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue and Whitney Houston.

Acquiring world fame

Deafening glory fell on young guys from Germany. By the end of 2006, about half a million discs were sold, almost 200 thousand tickets for concerts in various European cities were sold, and the group has appeared on the covers of German magazines more than 10 times! And also the second studio album Schrei was released - so laut du kannst (Shout - as loud as you can), supplemented by several new compositions... In terms of sales, it overtook the Rolling Stones compilation, which was released at the same time.

The first concert, which did not take place in Germany, was held in Moscow with amazing success. It made it clear that the band was in high demand. In the spring of 2007, the Zimmer 483 tour kicked off with sold-out concerts in 20 European cities. The musicians also came to the presentation of the Muz TV Prize in Moscow, and later performed in St. Petersburg.

In early June 2007, the English-language album Scream was released, which allowed Tokio Hotel to begin conquering England, Italy, Spain and America. In the fall, the band went on tour. The final concert took place on November 4 in the German city of Essen. After the end of the tour, the band was forced to take a break from concert and musical activities and cancel several performances, as Bill fell ill with laryngitis and could not sing. Fortunately, at the end of March 2008, the soloist underwent surgery on his vocal cords, which allowed him to resume his conquest of musical heights.

In October 2009, the fourth studio album Humanoid was released, which was quite noticeably different from the previous ones, as the musicians added more electronics to the songs. The main singles of the album were

1. Automatic.
2. World behind my wall.
3. Darkside of the Sun.

The work was received ambiguously by fans, but overall it was a good success. After presenting this album, in the spring of 2010 Tokio Hotel went to Asia, where they gave concerts in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan. In December of the same year, the group visited Tokyo - the capital of Japan - in the role of world-class stars that everyone knew about.

After the release of four records that had resounding success all over the world, and several sold-out tours, German artists decided to take a break from active public activities and devote time to relaxation. Bill and Tom flew to their Los Angeles mansion, where they relaxed and re-energized, spending a lot of time with their dogs and working on new material.

However, in the fall of 2012, the brothers returned to work, having flown to Germany. They were invited as judges on the German television project DSDS (Germany is looking for a superstar).

In October 2014, Tokio Hotel returned, blowing up the music world with their new album, Kings of Suburbia. The audience accepted the musical component of the disc well, but the video for the main song Feel It All caused a lot of negative emotions. Some of the concerts on the tour, which was supposed to support the release of the disc, were on the verge of cancellation. The reason was the whole groups united, who called the behavior of Bill, who played in the video of a drug addict, inappropriate.

Discontent intensified among the parents of teenagers, as they feared the video would have the wrong impact. However, director Matthias Erik Johnson hastened to settle the conflict and explained that the work, which was created solely under the impression of the cult films Requiem for a Dream and We Are Children from Zoo Station, does not carry a propaganda purpose. This allowed the band to calmly finish the tour with successful concerts in Europe, Asia, Russia, USA and Latin America.

In 2016, Bill Kaulitz, taking the pseudonym Billy (Bii), presented a solo album called I’m Not OK, consisting of 15 original songs. The disc was released in a limited edition, so especially fast fans who managed to pre-order on the official website, along with the disc received a colorful book with photographs of the artist taken by professional photographers. And also a video was shot for the main single of the album "Love Don't Break Me", which collected almost two million views.

In March 2017, the fifth and currently the last studio album of the German group was released, which was called "Dream Machine". The songs combine some of the early music and electronic elements of the last two albums. This work includes two singles:

1. Something New.
2. What If.

Bill Kaulitz: personal life

Throughout the musical career of the German group, caring fans actively follow the personal life of all members, and especially the leader of the group, who is Bill Kaulitz.

Musician orientation

Expressive facial features, long hair, dreadlocks, makeup, as well as outrageous outfits and heels, the artist left for a long time in the past, dyeing his hair blonde and making his image much more masculine. Now Bill Kaulitz appears in public without makeup, but disputes about his orientation have not stopped to this day. Fans confirm their guesses about Bill's gay a wide variety of situations.

In his songs, the singer never limits love to any gender boundaries. In addition, earlier, the elder Kaulitz often flirted and even kissed his younger brother on stage, which gave rise to many rumors about the nature of the relationship between the brothers. Another famous singer, Adam Lambert, also played a role. In his interviews, he often said that he admired Bill's appearance, character and personality and would very much like to get to know him personally. However, Adam immediately denied the possibility of a relationship between them, arguing that he had heard about the traditional orientation of Kaulitz.

Many people think that Bill Kaulitz is gay. Initially, the artist denied any rumors and stated that he had not yet met the one with whom he would like to go to the end. But later, in 2015, the singer wrote a small article that was published in a German magazine, where he said that age, gender, weight and other indicators did not matter to him at all. He is looking for a person who can radically change his life.

Bill and his girls

The artist carefully hides his personal life, since he believes that any relationship concerns only two people.

Several years ago, there were rumors about Bill's romance with Nikki Ramsay, the daughter of the famous British TV presenter Gordon Ramsay. The singer never commented on this, although Bill was seen with a girl a couple of times. But Ramsay herself claimed that the rumors were true, and they really had a relationship, which, however, quickly ended. Ramsay was frightened by obscene comments and threats from Bill's fans in her direction, so the couple broke up.

Later, Bill and his brother was on the jury on the German TV show DSDS. Many noticed that one of the participants, 17-year-old Laura Kleinas, impressed the eldest of the brothers with her performance. Kaulitz liked the charming girl, and he tried to promote her to the final. Bill even admitted his sympathy to Laura in one of the episodes, but Kleinas herself reacted indifferently to this, saying that they were connected only by music.

At the moment, Bill is not going to get married and has no permanent relationship.

Attention, only TODAY!

Bill Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel confesses everything in a letter posted on the SheKnows website. The 25-year-old German singer, who posted the letter on Instagram and Twitter, decided to speak openly about his sexual orientation. The first and important step in which he confessed: there is no need for any restrictions in love. And even if he didn't want to, he had to explain himself. The phrase "Bill Kaulitz is gay" has accompanied him since his debut in the music world.

The homosexuality of Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz has been talked about on the Internet and in music circles for several years now, and this has piqued the curiosity of his many fans who follow him on Facebook. In this touching letter, the tattoo-addicted German artist reveals unknown aspects of his private life.

The vocalist of Tokio Hotel explains in his letter: “As a child, I always dreamed of finding a great love for my life. My twin brother Tom never understood the latter. He didn't care deeply about it. My friends sometimes laugh at me and almost everyone I know , they think that such love, in which I believe, happens only in fairy tales. But I was betrayed, deceived, used. However, I still believe in magic, in great love that happens once in a lifetime. People like to classify everything and hang on all yarls, - said Bill - even on sexual preferences and love. Especially in the industry where I work. I feel like people just go crazy because they can not find out who is in my bed: a woman or This is why I have been constantly asked the same question "Are you gay or not?" "Ever since I turned 13 and I started doing interviews."

All these phrases of the vocalist are reminiscent of the words of British swimmer Tom Daley, when he confessed his gay orientation last year: before that, he first said that in love for him there is no difference between men and women, and then became an open homosexual. News of Bill Kaulitz's letter spread quickly on social media. Now many of his fans are wondering: Is Bill gay or bisexual? Most likely, very soon we will learn something else. The fact remains: all the recognition from celebrities in the world of music, film, television and sports is very useful and meaningful for all homosexuals who are victims of homophobia, bullying and ignorance every day.

Recently, the leader of the German music group Tokio Hotel, Bill Kaulitz, secretly visited Russia. The singer presented to the public his solo art project BILLY, within the framework of which a closed presentation of the mini-album BILLY-I "m Not Ok (I'm not ok) and the photobook Love Don" t Break Me (Love, not break me). Bill Kaulitz shared his impressions of the visit with HELLO.RU.

The release of the presented album took place on May 20 and is available for listening only on the Internet. It includes 5 dance songs about despair, heartbreak and hope. For the song Love Don "t Break Me, the musician has released a frank video clip and a book of the same name, visually complementing the story with photographs from the shooting.

Bill Kaulitz presented his book during his visit to Russia, October 2016 Previously, the BILLY project was successfully presented in the USA, Mexico, Germany, France and Italy. For his events, Bill chooses special art venues, since he positions his project as the interconnection of art, fashion and music. So, for the presentation in Moscow, the musician preferred a club format, inviting guests to the Insomnia nightclub, and in the northern capital the meeting was held in the Ziferburg entertainment center.

Despite the increased interest from fans, a limited number of people were able to attend the closed events. Bill chose to keep the meeting intimate by avoiding the press. Nevertheless, HELLO.RU managed to ask the musician a few questions and take pictures of him at the presentation.

For his Russian fans, Bill has prepared a number of surprises. Immediately before his trip to Moscow, the 27-year-old artist shocked the public with his new image - he made a short haircut and repainted in an extreme color. The singer decided on this experiment for the sake of one of his new videos, which will be released in the near future. Guests of both capitals had the opportunity to see a preview of one of them - the song Not Over You.

I would hate to reveal all the secrets. I can only say that most likely you will see how I shave my hair, right in the video, - said Bill.

During the event, the musician signed each copy of the photobook and a vinyl copy of the album, willingly took pictures and answered questions from the public, talking about his plans. In the spring of 2017, the Tokio Hotel group will return to Russia with a new concert tour Dream Machine Tour, which is planned to cover 8 cities. Tickets for upcoming concerts are being sold out by fans at a high rate, despite the fact that the band is in no hurry to release a new album.

Bill hurried to reassure the fans and asked to wait a little:

To be honest, I myself do not know when this X-day will come. We are still working on the material. Most likely, the new album will be released in early 2017.

The musician explained his employment by the fact that in addition to the group and the solo project, he has plans to make his film debut. Also, Bill and his twin brother Tom Kaulitz are in the process of writing a book.

We have too many projects now. When I wake up in the morning, I don't even know what to do. While I travel around the world with my solo project, my brother Tom is working as a producer for the group in a studio on the other side of the world on new tracks, the rest of the band members Georg and Gustav also work like bees, although they are usually less involved. So rest assured: we will go on tour with new material! Despite the fact that the theme of the evening was a project in which Bill put all his personal experiences, fans, not wanting to upset the artist, were in no hurry to ask questions about his recent separation from their other half, but they still received the answer:

Yes, I was very hurt by this relationship, it seemed to me that I had finally found the one thing that I had been looking for for so long. However, it was a good experience. When you give yourself completely to your loved one, this is not forgotten. At the moment I am free. And very happy! Of course, being happy is a choice. Sure, I can be sad and discouraged, hanging out in bars and having a one-night stand, but I don't encourage that. In the morning I feel empty, and this is not what I would like. So I tell people that I am happy - and I actually feel it. I'm fine and I'm not afraid to go through this again.

The musician also noted that he likes to visit nightclubs. Immediately after the end of the event, Bill went for a walk through the capital's establishments, having visited the Kamchatka bar and the ARMA17 club. In St. Petersburg, the singer also walked along the night streets.

It was not by chance that I chose Moscow and St. Petersburg for my presentation. I am in love with these cities. I really like the mentality of the Russian people. I have met rudeness, but at the same time - you are very hospitable. I was captivated by the architecture of St. Petersburg. Driving through the city, I feel the history of each building. There is no such thing in Los Angeles! I would definitely like to live here or just have a frosty Christmas.
