He would like to skate with climate activist Greta Thunberg. "I used to skate as a child, in Gronau on the city park pond," said Udo Lindenberg, according to the UNO Children's Fund Unicef. He has also done a spin on the ice rink at the Rockefeller Center in New York.
"Well, skates or rock'n'roll shoes - just a quick sole, that's how it has always been with me." When asked who he would like to skate with, the 73-year-old answered: "Preferably with Greta Thunberg."
Lindenberg has once again designed a Christmas greeting card for Unicef this year. She shows him skating in front of a peace sign. The subject of ice skating should symbolize the fight against global warming and the melting of polar ice.
The topic has long been close to the singer's heart. During the summer he met a group of young "Fridays for Future" activists at a concert in Dortmund. Lindenberg also sang the play "Ratten" during the performance. It is from 1982 and complains of environmental destruction. The song was dedicated to Greta Thunberg this evening.
