Unmasking the Man Behind "Homeless" and "The Guitar and the Sea": Freddy Quinn, Not the Lonely Sailor!
- *
Freddy Quinn: 'I was not a solitary sailor; I was someone else entirely!' - Quinn denies being a solitary seafarer: "I was anything but a solitary sailor!"
Avoiding any semblance of a melancholic sound, Freddy Quinn (93), in his upcoming autobiography titled "How It Really Was", set to hit shelves on May 22 by Hannibal Verlag, debunks the long-standing 'Lonely Sailor' legend surrounding him. With pen and paper, the charismatic singer, actor, and entertainer, alongside author Daniel Böcking, strives to deliver an unadulterated account of his eventful life - encompassing his most precious and defining moments, as well as the profound challenges, such as his tax evasion trial.
Famed for his baritone voice and the emotional resonance in hits like "Heimweh" and "Unter fremden Sternen", Freddy Quinn grew popular in post-war Germany. Born Franz Eugen Helmut Manfred Nidl on September 27, 1931, in Niederfladnitz or Vienna, this Austrian maritime background remains questionable, for he has stated on record that he never set sail.
The spotlight found him snuggled up in the Washington Bar, Hamburg - the crucible of his extraordinary career. For decades, his private life has been the subject of intense speculation, retiring from public view for over 15 years. However, two years ago, a surprising revelation emerged: the legend remarried at the ripe age of 91.
