Jürgen Drews announced his career end in July 2022.

Now he gave his last concert in Ellmau.

There he also brought his wife Ramona onto the stage.

Ellmau – Schlager star Jürgen Drews (77) announced his career on July 9, 2022 in Florian Silbereisen’s “Big Schlagerstrandparty”.

The "Bett im Kornfeld" interpreter suffers from polyneuropathy, an incurable nervous disease that limits the range of motion in his legs.

Since then he has had performances that have been speculated: will it be his last?

Now Drews gave his official last performance, in which he also brought his wife Ramona (49) on stage.
