Panikherz

Farewell to the Night: Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre's comeback. He wanted to dive right in: to the heroes, into the intoxicating nights - to where the music plays. First behind the scenes and then on stage. He arrived incredibly quickly, threw himself in, and almost got lost in it. Udo Lindenberg's rebellious fairy tale songs shaped and seduced him, but Udo himself became a friend and later a savior. Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre tells a story that one cannot make up: He wanted the rockstar thrill and the rockstar life, got both, and consequently also the rockstar downfall. Early fame, loss of reality, drug addiction. And now a journey of self-discovery in the most unlikely place - at the myth-laden Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, where Udo led him. What was planned as a retreat and seclusion turns out to be a return to writing and a life as a novel. Thus.
