Concern for panic orchestra star Udo Lindenberg.
The musician (80) has been admitted to a clinic. There he was advised to take a week-long break.
Udo Lindenberg's doctors advise taking a long break
According to information from the Hamburger Abendblatt, Lindenberg is said to have suffered an attack of weakness on Wednesday (May 27) and was looked after by doctors in his suite in the Hotel Atlantic. He is now in a hospital to get checked out.
The Brost Foundation, which made the delivery public, wrote on Instagram: “It is with great regret that we have to cancel the event, Udo Lindenberg & Friends, planned for June 3, 2026 in the Gronau Citizens' Hall.” The musician “is currently undergoing hospital treatment and, on the advice of his doctors, will need some time off in the coming weeks. We regret this very much – together with you, we were looking forward to a special evening with him and numerous companions.”

Rare couple photo shared for their 80th
Udo Lindenberg just celebrated his 80th birthday. On this occasion, his partner Tine Acke shared an unusually personal couple photo from Scotland. The photographer has been at Lindenberg's side for almost 30 years – mostly far from the public eye.
How serious the situation is is not known. According to Bild information, he should undergo cardiological checks.
The self-proclaimed panic rocker only turned 80 on May 17th. But instead of a specially organized Senate breakfast for the honorary citizen of the city of Hamburg, the singer came away empty-handed on his birthday. In Hamburg it is actually a tradition to celebrate the milestone birthdays of its honorary citizens with a Senate breakfast. But that is now out for Udo Lindenberg of all people. The reason? “The Senate breakfast doesn’t really fit in with Udo Lindenberg’s daily routine,” said a Senate spokesman.
However, the celebration should not be completely canceled. They say they are talking and looking for the right opportunity. If Udo has his way, the Senate will still have time to plan for the next 20 years. Because 80 isn't the end for him: “That's a number from the company 'Scheissegal', we're from the 100-year-old club, I always say.” It's still a while until his 100th birthday, but fans should be excited about an announcement like this: looking forward to the next 20 years full of music, long nights and weird dance numbers.
