Herbert Grönemeyer Says He Avoids Mirrors as He Releases 'Unplugged 2'

The 69-year-old describes using bold glasses and carefully chosen outfits to shift attention from an aging face.

Overview

  • Grönemeyer says he dislikes his own reflection and keeps his bathroom mirror mounted to the side rather than above the sink.
  • He prefers to look at himself as little as possible and, when necessary, only when made up and properly dressed.
  • The singer posts occasional outfit videos on TikTok and Instagram but says he does not read the comments.
  • Fashion is important to him, and he selects his own clothes, with conspicuous glasses as a deliberate part of his public look.
  • He has released 'Unplugged 2 – Von allem anders', a follow-up arriving 30 years after his 1995 Unplugged album and featuring songs from the years since, including "Mensch" and "Der Weg."
