DJ BoBo, have you already recovered from
your failure on Eurovision? We were very disappointed when we werent qualified to Final. But I had two week vacation otherwise I would have been cracked because I was very upset. On the other hand it was clear from the very beginning that we didnt have any chance to win. But the aim is done. Switzerland identifies itself with this contest again. Has your failure reflected on your selling? It has, but very positively. My CDs have risen in charts and presale of tickets has increased as well. In your last tour you used a stage as pirate ship. There was nothing identical before. Tell us, what else can we wait from you? Its absolute catastrophe every time. After each tour I think: It was super. But what now? Increasing of stage is not actual for me anymore. Bigger is not better. Your complex show is very expensive. How do you deal with your sponsors? There is no guarantee that sponsors will be interested in this. You cant say what would be in the future. But within last years Ive created a financial fund not to risk anything. In spring 2008 you will go on your new tour "Vampires". Your wife will perform with you on stage. What about your kids? Well take them with us. I cant go anywhere without my children. Will you be on tour through 2008? We will have a break for a month while there will be European football championship in Switzerland. So you will come back home? Yes. Our crew will rest for a month. This is huge event for our country. I cant miss it. Im big football fan. I even have my own football team. Recently we played with Nidwalden team and won 3:1. So then I decided to move to Kastanienbaum town, canton Lucerne. When will be house-warming ? Before the new tour starts, at the beginning of 2008. Why Kastanienbaum? Everybody asks me about it. They say: why, you have to pay higher taxes there. But in life there always one moment when the quality of life is more important than some organizational problems. Also Nancy and I liked this place from the very beginning. |
