Here's your dose of gossip, y'all! With the heart-wrenching demise of Anna R. Rosenstolz's lead vocalist (1969-2025), her group's music has ascended the charts like a rising phoenix. Just a few days post her untimely passing, a whopping 20 Rosenstolz tunes have stormed their way back into the iTunes Top 100, according to reports. Five of these are in the Top 10, with "Liebe ist alles" (2018 version) leading the pack alongside "Ich bin ich" and "Gib mir Sonne" claiming the first three positions.
Rosenstolz albums and Anna R.'s solo albums have also found their way back to the charts: a total of 17 Rosenstolz albums are currently sitting pretty in the iTunes Top 100, boasting six in the top ten. "König:in" - Anna R.'s album from two years ago - is also among the top picks.
The Siren's Blustery Demise
Management confirmed Anna R.'s demise on March 17 via her Instagram account. The announcement described a heavy blow to all her friends and colleagues, as they were left shocked and disoriented by her sudden, unexpected passing. "She had many musical plans, but she passed away at the age of 55 in Berlin," the post read.
Peter Plate (57), former Rosenstolz member, took to social media to express his sorrow and loss, hailing Anna R. as his dear friend and collaborator on musical journeys. "You will be so missed. My whole life, my years in Berlin - all of that was connected to you. Rosenstolz was one of the most beautiful times of my life. Rosenstolz, that was you and me. And now you're gone," he wrote.
Post-Rosenstolz's split in 2012, Anna R. kept her music flame burning bright with solo projects and collaborations. She teamed up with Gleis 8 for her solo projects and played with Silly from 2019 to 2022. She had planned a solo tour for October and November this year.
