Career Suicide

Bill Kaulitz is one of the most charismatic figures in the music world. As the face of the band Tokio Hotel, Bill Kaulitz was loved, mocked, admired, and hated for his eccentric appearance like no other. Fans adored his androgynous style, while the press reacted with confusion and speculation about his sexual identity. When the hype surrounding him reached dangerous levels, Bill fled to Los Angeles with his twin brother Tom.

From there, he reflects on the first thirty years of his life. Growing up near Magdeburg, Bill was accustomed to hostility and misunderstanding, but he never let it deter him and consistently pursued his artistic visions and his dream of a life away from provincial narrow-mindedness. For the first time, he openly shares his childhood in the middle of nowhere, Tokio Hotel's overwhelming success, but also escapades, loneliness, and the special relationship with his brother Tom.

He would not be where he is today if he had not unconditionally stood by himself.
