TV host gets Helen Fischer’s age wrong: how the pop queen responds
A slip of the tongue on Helene Fischer’s age by an ARD moderator during the tour press conference led to a light-hearted moment where the Schlager queen quickly corrected the mistake. The incident occurred at a press conference for her upcoming 360-degree open-air tour in 2026, where Helene Fischer aims to perform in front of a total of 750,000 fans, with 600,000 tickets already sold, according to concert promoter Marek Lieberberg.
During an interview with “Brisant” in Munich, Susanne Klehn, the moderator, attempted to draw a comparison between Helene Fischer’s past and present. “Now you are a mature woman. I turned 44 this year, and you turned 42,” stated Klehn to the singer. However, Fischer burst into laughter, leaving the journalist puzzled. “Why? What?” exclaimed the bewildered moderator. The clarification swiftly followed: “Actually not yet,” the artist clarified with a laugh. She had just turned 41 this year on August 5. With her usual composure, Helene Fischer corrected the minor mistake, stating, “No, actually, when I finish the tour, in the summer, I will then be 42, so I am still playing it at 41,” with a smile. Susanne Klehn also took her blunder in stride, adding a charming twist: “In any case, we are both over 40 and still young at heart.” The relaxed atmosphere once again showcased Fischer’s professional handling of such situations.
The press conference on Wednesday primarily focused on Helene Fischer’s spectacular return to the stage. Following the birth of her second daughter, the singer is making a comeback in 2026 with a massive tour. “It will indeed be a huge celebration,” she announced. “We want to throw the biggest party.” The tour will take her from June to July across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with a 360-degree stage in the middle of the stadiums featuring walkways. Fischer explained, “I just wanted to be right in the middle of it all.” By the way, Helene Fischer’s ex, Florian Silbereisen, recently reached a significant milestone in his career.
In conclusion, the exchange between Helene Fischer and the ARD moderator offered a light-hearted moment during the press conference, highlighting Fischer’s grace and humor in correcting the slip about her age. The anticipation for her upcoming tour continues to build, promising a grand celebration for her fans across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The event marks an exciting return to the stage for the beloved Schlager queen after welcoming her second child, with a promise of a memorable and immersive experience for concert-goers.
