Torsten Sträter Discloses Tumor Diagnosis, Postpones April Shows

He clarifies the illness is physical rather than a depressive relapse.

Overview

  • Sträter, who posted the news Tuesday on his website, said a tumor was found and his April performances are canceled or postponed.
  • He said he has been under very close, intensive care for weeks with a team of capable doctors, which has kept him off the stage.
  • He aims to return to performing in May, with shows listed in Jülich, Münster, Oberhausen and Chemnitz, and promoters are moving April dates to later slots.
  • He did not disclose the tumor’s type or location, asked for privacy and said there will be no further statements for now.
  • He underscored that the health issue is not a relapse of depression, a subject he has discussed publicly as a longtime advocate on mental health.
