A performance by Matthias Reim (66) at Esslingen Castle was canceled due to a thunderstorm. Not only were many fans disappointed, the cancellation of his show on Friday evening (July 19) was apparently also very painful for the singer himself. In a video that the music star subsequently posted on his Instagram stories, he explained: “Hey guys, I could cry.”
Matthias Reim: “It tears my heart apart”
In the short clip in which he can be seen with his musicians in the castle, Matthias Reim continued: “It can’t be true. We are now sitting here in the castle in Esslingen and can’t believe that it has been cancelled.” About those responsible, he added: “They are probably right, they said it would still be dangerous. It doesn’t look good on the radar either. They have to make sure that nothing happens to you and of course I have to say: That’s right.”
The 66-year-old continued: “But it breaks my heart.” It started so beautifully, Matthias Reim said of the first minutes of his planned show: “I could just tell you how much I was looking forward to seeing you and how much this band was looking forward to seeing you.” At the end of the emotional video, the singer says: “Today is one of the saddest days of my life. I miss you.”
Matthias Reim celebrated his breakthrough with “Damn, I love you”
Matthias Reim began his career in the 1980s and celebrated his big breakthrough shortly thereafter. In 1990, he became famous with the hit “Damn, I love you”, which became a million seller. After the great success of the German version, Reim even sang an English version of the song. The singer, who released his new studio album ‘Zeppelin’ on April 26, 2024, still enjoys great success to this day.
