Criticism of Florian Silbereisen? Patrick Lindner “doesn’t need” his hit shows. On March 16th he will celebrate his hit anniversary together with thousands of fans and millions of TV viewers.

The guest list is very exclusive because not everyone is allowed to be on stage with him. But that doesn't seem to bother the pop singer much. He could also do without it. "I am successful. I don't need to knock on Florian's door," he says. “I certainly won't go along with any nonsense anymore.”
