Wildecker Herzbuben Disband, Member Pursues Solo Career
In a surprising turn of events, the folk music duo Wildecker Herzbuben, famous for their hit "Herzilein," have announced their disbandment. The group's long-time member, Wolfgang Schwalm, will be pursuing a solo career under the name "The Herzbube Wolfgang."
Wolfgang Schwalm, who began his career as an electrician and later a wholesale manager, has been performing without Wilfried Gliem for some time. The exact reasons for Wilfried Gliem's departure from the duo are not publicly known, other than health issues.
Despite his health challenges, Wilfried Gliem will make an appearance at the final performance of Wildecker Herzbuben, scheduled for September at Heidi Klum's schlager show. He will perform in a wheelchair, reflecting his current health condition.
The civil law partnership between Wolfgang Schwalm and Wilfried Gliem has been dissolved as of March 31. However, legally speaking, Wolfgang Schwalm could potentially take over as the new singer of Wildecker Herzbuben if Wilfried Gliem engages a new singer.
The Wildecker Herzbuben's career took off from their first concert in Schwalmstadt in April 1990. The duo remained active mainly together, achieving great success with their volkstümlicher Schlager music. Their 1989 hit "Herzilein" catapulted them to fame.
No timeline has been provided for when Wolfgang Schwalm's solo career will be released. He has secured a new record deal for his solo endeavours, and the HeidiFest show at the Munich Hofbräuhaus on September 18 will feature Wildecker Herzbuben (with Wolfgang Schwalm).
For those interested in the future plans of both Wolfgang Schwalm and Wilfried Gliem post-separation, it might be worth checking recent interviews, announcements, or news sources for more detailed information.
I am not sure if Wilfried Gliem's health issues will impact his ability to pursue entertainment ventures beyond his performance with Wildecker Herzbuben. In the midst of his solo career, Wolfgang Schwalm might delve into various genres of music, perhaps even covering some popular tunes or collaborating with celebrities in the music industry.
