[HIGHLIGHTS] “Permanent dream” with City: band founder Fritz Puppel is dead

Guitarist Fritz Puppel died unexpectedly on February 10th at the age of 79. He founded the band City with drummer Klaus Selmke in 1972.

The band catapulted themselves into the charts in faraway Greece in 1977. They became the first GDR band ever to receive a "Golden Record". “. The hit, which was then covered many times, is called “Am Fenster”. “Once you know, this remains forever. It’s not intoxication that already sues the night,” said poet Hildegard Maria Rauchfuß.
