Boys venture down individual paths after breakup of wild group
In the world of German Schlager music, one duo has been making waves for decades - Wildecker Herzbuben. Consisting of Wolfgang Schwalm and Wilfried Gliem, the heavyset folk music duo from Hesse began their career in April 1990. Their first proper concert took place in a cafe in Schwalmstadt, North Hesse, and it was the start of a successful journey that led them to fame with their 1989 hit "Herzilein."
However, recent developments have seen changes in the duo's dynamic. Schwalm has been performing solo for some time now, pursuing a solo career under the name "The Herzbube Wolfgang." He has already secured a new record deal for this new venture. Gliem, on the other hand, is battling illness and can no longer perform with the duo.
The duo's official disbandment was announced, but the details surrounding the split are not widely publicized. What is known is that Gliem will sing from a wheelchair for their last performance together, scheduled for September at a schlager show hosted by Heidi Klum. This will mark a "worthy farewell" for Schwalm, according to recent reports.
As for Gliem, he could potentially engage Schwalm or another singer if he recovers. The civil law partnership between the two has been dissolved as of March 31. Regarding the status of Gliem's trademark ownership, information is scarce. Wilfried Gliem still holds the "Wildecker Herzbuben" trademark, but the future of it remains uncertain.
Despite these changes, the duo is still listed on the artist lineup for the "HeidiFest" show in Munich's Hofbräuhaus on September 18. It remains to be seen how this performance will unfold and what the future holds for both Schwalm and Gliem.
For the most recent and detailed updates on these specific issues, monitoring official Wildecker Herzbuben channels or trusted entertainment news sources would be advisable, as the current publicly available data is insufficient.
- Despite Gliem's illness and the dissolution of the civil law partnership, the Wildecker Herzbuben duo is set to perform together one last time at Heidi Klum's schlager show in September, marking a "worthy farewell" for Schwalm.
- In the aftermath of the temporary disbandment, Gliem still holds the "Wildecker Herzbuben" trademark, yet the future of it remains uncertain, and potential collaborations with Schwalm or another singer could occur if Gliem recovers.
