"Howard Carpendale expresses concerns over the state of Schlager music"
On a special saturday night, the German television network ZDF will broadcast "Die Giovanni Zarrella Show - A saturday night with Howard Carpendale." This event marks the 79th birthday and 60-year stage anniversary of German-South African Schlager star, Howard Carpendale.
The show will also see a small comeback from Jürgen Drews, known as the "King of Mallorca," who retired from show business in 2023. Despite his health challenges due to the nerve disease Polyneuropathy, Jürgen Drews has expressed that he is only "a bit more tired" and has "a slight gait instability."
Jürgen Drews' performance during the show was reportedly emotional, with the audience visibly moved. His daughter, Joelina Drews, who recently spoke openly about a love crisis in the media, was also present.
Howard Carpendale and Jürgen Drews have been friends for decades, and their duet during the show was particularly poignant. In fact, Howard Carpendale expressed that this might be the last time they sing together.
The event is a grand Schlager show in honour of Howard Carpendale's birthday and stage anniversary. It is being hosted by Giovanni Zarrella, and sources suggest that the show will be a touching tribute to the longevity and impact of these two Schlager icons.
For those who missed the live event, ZDF will broadcast the show on friday, offering viewers a chance to witness this emotional celebration of music and friendship.
