A visit to the doctor saves Peter Maffay's life: "My heart sank". "That was a misdiagnosis, but it made my heart sink so much that I said to myself, if this cup passes me by, I'll stop,” said the singer himself.

The singer also associates his decision to remain smoke-free and thus stay away from nicotine with one of his favorite bands. The Rolling Stones fans weren't too impressed with his music. Beer cans and eggs were also thrown at him at other Stones concerts.
