Overview
- Schäfer is officially confirmed for the new Let’s Dance season, trading the drum kit for the ballroom after two decades with Tokio Hotel.
- On the show’s official podcast he said his daughter reacted with skepticism and plans post-show “analysis,” asking whether he can dance at all.
- The Kennenlernshow airs Friday, February 27, with rehearsals already underway as Schäfer shares workout updates and sore-muscle posts on Instagram.
- A founding member since the band’s 2001 beginnings as Devilish, he is known for keeping a low profile and still lives in Magdeburg with his wife and daughter.
- Most outlets name his wife as Linda, though at least one report refers to her as Lisa, reflecting a minor inconsistency in coverage.
