Legendary Artists Howard Carpendale and Jürgen Drews Perform Together One Last Time

Howard Carpendale, a 79-year-old German music icon, and Jürgen Drews, who turned 80 in April, shared the stage at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund for a memorable performance. This joint appearance was a significant moment, as it might have been their last performance together.

Jürgen Drews, who has been dealing with a nerve condition called polyneuropathy, made a brief comeback at the Giovanni Zarrella show honouring Howard Carpendale. The emotion in the audience was palpable during their performance, and the moment was quite moving for Carpendale as well.

The show honouring Carpendale took place before his 80th birthday on January 14, 2026, and was set in a concert hall. The performance was a comeback for Drews, who had previously announced his retirement, influenced by his nerve condition. His official farewell show was broadcast on ARD in January 2023.

Despite his ill health, Drews managed to make a poignant return to the stage. No further details about the nature of his ill health were provided, but it is known that he suffers from polyneuropathy, a nerve disease.

The show honouring Carpendale will be broadcast on ZDF next Saturday (September 20) at 8:15 PM, giving fans another chance to witness this historic performance. It's a moment not to be missed, as it encapsulates the enduring spirit of these two legendary artists.
