Pop singer Michelle (52) has announced the end of her career. A talk show appearance has now brought her into a comparatively smaller circle.

She achieved a respectable success (8th place) at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2001. Her farewell album “Flutlicht” is due. And of course she will also be seen on various Schlager stages before she retires.. “I'm fed up”: A pop star found clear words in the TV talk “Kölner Treff” when it came to reactions to his relationship with a music colleague.. In another recent interview, Michelle was just as blunt against all the doubters: “Everyone has the right to judge, everyone can say what they want. But I don’t care.” It is clear, however, that her private life also became a topic - and presenter Susan Link asked her guest about something that dominated the hit gossip for months: Michelle's relationship with the much younger Eric Philippi.
