Barbra Streisand - Zwei Deutschlandkonzerte

Vorhang auf: Barbra Streisand bei eventim.de

Barbra Streisand hat mehr Platten verkauft als die Beatles und die Rolling Stones und wird dabei nur von Elvis Presley übertroffen. Die Auftritte des 1942 in Brooklyn geborenen Weltstars jüdischer Abstammung sind etwas ganz Besonders und äußerst rar – hierzulande konnte man Barbra Streisand 2007 in der Waldbühne Berlin zum ersten Mal live erleben. Im Sommer bietet sich nun erneut die Chance!

2.06. Köln, Lanxess Arena
15.06. Berlin, o2 World


Der exklusive Vorverkauf startet am 23. März, um 9 Uhr.

Trauerfeier für Tony Sheridan im Hamburger Michel, 11.03.2013

(To get to the Flickr Album please click on the picture above)

Die Trauerfeier für Tony Sheridan fand gestern im Michel in Hamburg statt und für mich war es eine Selbstverständlichkeit, ihm die letzte Ehre zu erweisen, da ich ihn einige Male live erleben durfte.

Eine große Gemeinde aus Familie, Freunden, Wegbegleitern und Fans war zusammengekommen, um Tony Sheridan die letzte Ehre zu erweisen. Seine Tochter sang zwei bewegende Lieder und zwei Trauerreden wurden von Freunden von Tony gehalten.

Um nur einige Namen zu nennen: Kingsize Taylor, Lee Curtis, Brian Parrish, Colin Melander, Horst Fascher, Frank Dostal, ein Bandmitglied der weiblichen 'Beatgruppe' Liverbirds und Mr Piggy waren dabei, viele andere sind in den zahlreichen Zeitungsartikeln erwähnt. Die Zahl der Trauergäste wird mit ca. 300 Personen beziffert.
Besonderer Dank gilt an dieser Stelle Kingsize (Ted) Taylor für seine Organisation.
