Tokio Bill writes a new song almost every day
The frontman of Germany’s most successful band at the moment began to work on a new Tokio Hotel album after his vocal chord operation.
The period before and after his vocal chord operation was one of the most difficult times of his life for the Tokio Hotel singer Bill (18).
Yet now, after he’s gotten over it all well, it appears that the medically prescribed silence has also done some good. Since then, Bill’s been writing up new songs almost every day. “At the moment Bill comes to me continuously with new song ideas,” explains the band manager David Jost. Above all, the many travels (USA, France, Spain) seem to inspire him. “If you’re out and about, you generally don’t write songs completely to the end, but it produces many ideas. You then have to really devote yourself to a feeling like that when it comes about,” tells Jost.
Bill types his lines onto hotel receipts, into the mobile or into the laptop, then. Loads of stuff for the third and newest album has already come together. And one thing is certain – Bill’s carrying on singing in German! This is no problem for the fans abroad, tells Jost: “That mainly comes from the fact that the fans want to get as close as possible to Bill’s identity. Because of this, they want to understand the lyrics in German and would therefore prefer to hear Bill in his mother tongue at concerts.”
It’s still not certain when the new album will be produced, though.
The ‘Rock in Rio’ festival in Madrid has attracted fewer visitors than expected, despite appearance of big stars at the event.
The German teen band Tokio Hotel expected around 50,000 fans in the early hours of Sunday. According to details in the newspaper "El País", the reality was only half as much as the organisers had hoped for. There were only 40,000 visitors at the old rocker Neil Young’s performance the previous evening.
Next weekend at the Open-Air-Festival; Amy Winehouse, The Police, Bob Dylan and Lenny Kravitz are on the program, along with other appearances.
The rock festival born in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil was moved from ‘Sugar Cone’ to Lisbon in 2004. This year, for the first time, there are two venues – one in the Portuguese capital city, and the second in Madrid.

Tokio Hotel at Rock in Rio: “Super feedback in Spain”
The first ‘Rock in Rio’ festival in Madrid is over. The absolute highlights besides the Spanish rock band El Canto del Loco belonged to the German megastars Tokio Hotel.
The Spanish fans had prepared themselves well for the concert and painted their messages to Tom, Bill, Georg and Gustav in perfect German on enormous banners. As well as “Tokio Hotel for ever,” or “Bill – we love you,” there was also an aggravating “Tom, fuck your guitar,” to read…
The Spanish press pounced on the Germans like their fans as well, and afterwards remarked, already impressed, that “Closely considered, the boys are much more interesting – particularly the lead singer Bill.”
And so, the four appear impressed by the many fans. After all, the band had to cancel the only concert in Madrid at the beginning of the year, when Bill was being operated on his vocal chords.
On Saturday, Tokio Hotel stuck to that promise and the concert made up for it. Bill, as ever with tons of hairspray and painted nails in the style of a ‘French manicure’, was pleased about the fans: “We find it cool, how we’ve been received in Spain. The feedback is absolutely super.”
Now the fans are waiting for further appearances of their favourite band in Spain. Maybe the boys will come back again?
What do you think about the differences in this media reaction?
