| Ben Zucker surprises Florian Silbereisen with a song |
Ben Zucker had a remarkable surprise in store for Florian Silbereisen on the 20th anniversary of the festival. He had prepared a special song for his fellow Schlager artist and friend.
What better way to astonish a musician than with music itself? Ben Zucker had a unique surprise planned for his Schlager counterpart and close friend during "The Big Hit Surprise for Florian Silbereisen," presenting a song crafted exclusively for him. Ben Zucker rose to fame in 2017 through a notable performance.
The moment unfolded when Ben, fresh off the stage after captivating the audience with his song "Not Today!," warmly greeted Florian Silbereisen. Host Barbara Schöneberger then delivered the intriguing line: "Ben, you didn't just come to sing ONE song."
Seizing the cue, Ben Zucker swiftly returned to the stage, where a grand piano awaited. Barbara Schöneberger enthusiastically explained to Florian Silbereisen the surprise in store:
"We've seen a few texts being adapted tonight, but Ben takes it a step further by penning an entire song just for you."
The heartfelt performance, featuring touching lines like "You've always supported us - it's nice that you exist," illuminated by dazzling lights, culminated in a warm embrace. Florian Silbereisen and Ben Zucker share a bond beyond music; they are genuine friends. They also discovered another commonality, as they revealed to Barbara Schöneberger: sharing the same birthday. Although they've never had the chance to celebrate together, they make it a point to connect over the phone every year on their special day. Perhaps a joint birthday celebration is on the horizon.
