This story went to the heart of the DSDS jury: Abi was separated from his family while fleeing.

With his appearance he now wants to find her again.

Burghausen – When 20-year-old Abdul "Abi" Faizan stepped in front of the DSDS jury *, no one suspected what story the young man would tell.

With a guitar and an inverted cap, he stood a little shy in front of Ilse DeLange*, Florian Silbereisen* and Toby Gad*.

He then entrusted his fate to the whole of Germany and revealed the reason for his appearance.

DSDS 2022: Abdul "Abi" Faizan was separated from his parents

Abi originally comes from Afghanistan, from where he had to flee at the age of 14.

Together with his family, he set out on the more than 6,000 km journey to freedom, but they never arrived together.

In the teaser he tells his story.

The family lived in the north of the country, his “dad was a businessman”, so they did not have any financial problems.

One evening his father attended a wedding party where "People of Parliament" were also present.

Suddenly shots were fired, killing 40 people.

His father survived the attack, but luck didn't last long.

A short time after the incident he received a call, Abi recalls, "Why didn't you die?

Was that you?".

Escape "was hard": DSDS candidate wants to find his parents again

Shortly thereafter, his father decided to flee.

They set out in the middle of the night to make the long journey in a truck.

It "was tough," says the young singer.

"The smugglers said we didn't fit in a car."

As the "biggest in the family," Abdul decided to ride in another car.

He was promised to see his parents again in half an hour.

But it never came to that.

He has not seen his family since then.

He wants to change that now, because his appearance on DSDS * should bring his loved ones back.

"I want to show my voice and myself," says Abi.

Perhaps then his parents would see him, whom he named in an appeal.

"Please guys, I need your help," he says desperately into the camera.

DSDS jury is touched: "It's all crazy"

Despite his fate, the budding electronics engineer for energy and building technology exudes courage and joy.

Although he lost his birth family when he fled, he found loving foster parents in Germany who wanted to give him back a piece of home.

“My foster parents are just like my family and I love them dearly.

You are always in my heart,” says Abi.

With his appearance on DSDS 2022*, not only should the dream of becoming a successful singer come true – he also hopes that his biological parents will see him on television and contact him.

Ilse DeLange is certain: "What a miracle that you are here with us and that you feel so free to tell your story.

That is very important, also for others”.

Florian Silbereisen is also visibly touched: "If you think about it: It's all crazy".

For the first time in the history of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" Dieter Bohlen is not a member of the jury.

DSDS started the 19th round with lousy ratings.

Now Florian Silbereisen * reacted.

The next episode of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" will air on Saturday, January 29, 2022 on RTL.

At the same time, DSDS 2022 will also be broadcast live on RTL +.
