A Somber Farewell for "Naddel"
Nadja Abd el Farrag reportedly received a burial.
Nadja Abd el Farrag, famously known as "Naddel," was reportedly laid to rest in a quiet ceremony in Hamburg, away from the media glare following her death. The private funeral was attended by her mother Ute, sister Tamara, and possibly her loyal companion, Lilly, a Golden Retriever.
Born on March 5, 1965, Nadja lived a turbulent life filled with fame and personal struggles. Her relationship with pop titan Dieter Bohlen catapulted her into the limelight in the 1990s. However, her life was marred by alcohol addiction, a battle she fought relentlessly until her death on May 9, 2025, at the age of 60.
Nadja yearned for a peaceful life and even hoped for a family, as revealed by her former manager and friend, Marion Ellendorf. Unfortunately, her wish remained unfulfilled. Just weeks before her demise, she celebrated her 60th birthday. Her health and financial situation had been a cause for concern in recent years.
A Lifetime of Struggles
Nadja's autobiography, "Achterbahn," revealed that she suffered from liver cirrhosis, a consequence of the medication she took for her ADHD. In a 2015 talk show, she publicly acknowledged her alcohol addiction, confessing to regular drinking, often two to three glasses of wine in the evenings, and occasional daytime drinking. Despite her troubling liver issues, she continued to drink until the very end.
Her alcohol addiction was influenced by feelings of being "lost and homeless," a sentiment she attributed to her Father-Sudanese heritage and the strained relationship with her father.
