TV host underestimates Helene Fischer’s age: How the pop singer responds
During a recent press conference regarding her upcoming 2026 tour, a small misunderstanding led to some jovial moments. ARD moderator Susanne Klehn, while conversing with Helene Fischer, mistakenly miscalculated the singer’s age, to which the Schlager queen reacted with her signature charm.
The event took place in Munich in preparation for the highly anticipated 360-degree open-air tour where Helene Fischer plans to perform in front of a massive audience of 750,000 fans. Reportedly, 600,000 tickets have already been sold according to concert organizer Marek Lieberberg.
The amusing incident occurred during an interview on “Brisant” in Munich. Susanne Klehn intended to draw a comparison between Helene Fischer’s past and present. In an attempt to connect with the singer, she stated, “Now, you are a mature woman. I turned 44 this year, and you turned 42.” However, this statement was greeted with laughter from Fischer, who clarified that she had not yet reached the age mentioned by Klehn. Fischer light-heartedly pointed out that she had just turned 41 on August 5th, and when the tour ends in the summer, she will turn 42. Both parties took the moment in stride, with Klehn humorously referring to them as “young sprightly individuals in their forties.”
The press conference on Wednesday focused primarily on Helene Fischer’s spectacular return to the stage after the birth of her second daughter. The singer announced that the 2026 tour would be a grand celebration, exclaiming, “It will indeed be a huge party. We want to celebrate the biggest party.” The tour will span from June to July, covering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with a unique 360-degree stage set up in the middle of the stadiums. Fischer explained that she wanted to be in the heart of the action, surrounded by her fans. Interestingly, Helene Fischer’s ex, Florian Silbereisen, recently reached a significant milestone in his career.
The untimely mix-up at the press conference only added to the lighthearted atmosphere and showcased Helene Fischer’s ability to handle such situations with grace and professionalism. It was evident that the singer is excited about her forthcoming tour and eager to connect with her fans in a memorable way.
