DJ BoBo answers the questions asked by his fans 25.07-17.08.2008 (selected questions)

When will you release a new single?
Oh, I dont know. Theres nothing planned at this moment. Im definitely sure that there will be a new album before the next tour but single market in the world has changed completely. So I dont know if there will be any single release as you call it single in a future. Maybe its download or I dont know.

How do you remain so down to earth since you are big star and very popular?
Thats not as difficult as it looks like. I have a family, I have two kids and I have a lot of friends around me. Actually its quite easy. I was never looking for things like big car or golden rings or whatever. It was never something important to me. So maybe thats the key.

How will you help all needy children of this world?
We cant help everyone. The world is too big for that. We can only contribute a little bit of our help as we do it

with UNO World Food Program. Ive concentrated my attention mostly on Africa namely on Ethiopia. Now I understand that our duty is to donate as much money as possible for this project and help people directly in Ethiopia.

Whats the biggest unrealizable dream of your life?
I have a professional dream. I want to perform in Teheran, the capital of Iran. Ive never been to this country as western artist because its political situation prohibits this. We got a lot of invitations from the fans of this country. Western music isnt welcomed in Iran. Fans secretly communicate with us. It will be perfect if one day we perform there.

Is it true that in 2012 you will finish your concert performances?
Its never-ending question. Till 2012 I will perform on a stage! After that I cant promise anything. You do know Im not that person who doesnt keep his word. Yes, I can declare now that I will perform till 2020. But will it be the truth? I guarantee that till 2012 you will see us again. But what will happen then nobody knows.

How do you find potential of Internet? Is it success or danger?
Internet is amazing thing. With its help we can fast bring to our listener our music. It was impossible before. On the other hand Internet either good or evil. Many illegally download music from Internet. Because of this artists cant live like before. On the one hand music very easy spreads via Internet. On the other had there are less people who pay for it. For example people are ready to pay for the ring tone of squirrel that breaks wind for 3 Euros. But they dont want to pay 99 cent for one song. I dont understand that. But I hope my fans are honest people. Download music only from legal recourses.

What would you change in your life looking back?
There are few nuances which I hardly remember. Much time went away. But in the main I wouldnt change anything neither in musical life nor in private life.

Can BoBo imagine himself performing in USA?
Of course he can imagine himself performing in USA especially when Chihuahua was used as a soundtrack to Hollywood cartoon. Generally he hopes that one day he will perform in USA.

Is it possible to invite you for private performance?
If you have a birthday or classmates meeting and you want to invite me for private performance you will need a very tight-filled purse and a huge heart. Donate your money for World Food Program and I will be in your order and even celebrate your event.

When will you release your next CD?
In a few days my new DVD Vampires Alive Show will be released. And you will get live audio CD with song from the show as a present.

You have so much energy after two-hour show to communicate with your fans and sign autographs for them. Where do you take your energy from?
Its a very good question. At the first part of my tourney I hardly signed autographs. Its all because of the problems with my voice. I like to communicate with my fans after the concerts. Its very important for me. But at the first days of the tourney I became hoarse. If I was outside too long I would lose my voice. It would lead to cancellation of our concerts. This decision was very hard for me. It seemed like I dont want to sign autographs. On the next tour we will have two-day breaks for me to have some rest.

Rumors have it DJ BoBo will have the last tour in 2012. Is it true?
This question is asked to me very often. I cant answer it because I dont know the answer. Maybe 2012 will be the last. I would love to perform till Ill be 85. It depends on your wish to see us. But till 2012 Ill be busy, that is true!

Your shows are perfectly directed stories. When will we get a musical from you?
Yeah, we also ask ourselves about it. Do we want to make a musical? We started thinking of idea of the musical. On the one hand its very interesting. Musical makes me write a story in my songs. On the other hand I think its too early to jump to conclusions. When the time comes I will be ready for this mentally. There is an idea to make a musical but musical is also economical expense so we cant make it without the investors.

When will you ever release a CD in the eurodance style again? We would love to see the king of eurodance back on stage.
The king is here! Im joking. The happy part of it is the king of eurodance as you all were calling me is still on the dance floor. And we are still able to play fantastic shows that we have. The pity is that eurodance as a music style is only known right now in these days by a few people. I think on every album there is one or two eurodance tracks. But lets see what the future brings. I guess in 2012 at the twenty years of DJ BoBo celebration it would be a fantastic time to make a revival with some friend maybe from the 90s, to do some remixes with the sounds of these days.

Have you ever thought to release a CD with your greatest hits in unplugged version?
Why not? Yes, of course. There was a songwriter who wrote some songs with us. His name is Noise Katzmann. He wrote also Mr. Vain or More And More for Captain Hollywood and Culture Beat. And he contacted me several times and said: You should do your songs unplugged because theyre so great as songs. So unplugged can be a possibility but it could be also a possibility to do something with the classical orchestra. So there are a lot of open possibilities for the future.
