Der Graf Opens Up on Parents’ Deaths as New Album Marks Full Return

On NDR’s talk show, the Unheilig singer cast his comeback as a response to recent family loss.

Overview

  • In an NDR Talk Show interview, he said he lost his father and soon after his mother, adding that filming Sing meinen Song then helped him cope even though she died a day before his flight.
  • He described his mother as his rock during a stuttering childhood, recalling the encouraging notes she slipped into his school things and saying she showed him what love is.
  • He performed the new song Du bist meine Heimat, dedicated to his wife who stays out of the spotlight, and recounted breaking down in tears while recording it with her in the studio.
  • The album LIEBE GLAUBE MONSTER arrived on March 13 as part of his staged comeback after a nine‑year retreat, a collection he has billed as “Unheilig 2.0.”
  • Summer 2026 open‑air dates are booked for Berlin, Mönchengladbach and Graz, with a larger arena tour across Germany, Austria and Switzerland slated for late 2026 and early 2027.
