Pop star Ross Antony canceled his appearance on “Stars unter Palmen 2024” because of Michael Wendler. The entire show has now been canceled – and Wendler lets his anger run free.
Update from August 11th at 2:00 p.m.: The fact that “Schlager unter Palmen 2024” has now been completely canceled after the sharp criticism of Michael Wendler’s planned performance has lured the scandalous musician into a veritable rant from the reserve, like bild.de reported. He is said to have spoken on his Telegram channel of “ridiculous distances from Ross Antony and Julian David”, “who position themselves brushed mainstream and always grinning against discrimination but do exactly this through their behavior.”

“It sounds a bit like kindergarten level, like the motto – I don’t play with Michael,” the news portal quotes the singer who has fallen out of favor, “I think it’s disgusting.” He is said to have referred to the corona pandemic , during which he repeatedly attracted attention with questionable statements and conspiracy theories. For him, hit stars like Ross Antony and Julian David are said to be “pitiable and characterless artists” who “still believe that their silence was good in the inhuman Corona period.”
Michael Wendler: The crash of a hit star
For a long time, Michael Wendler was one of the biggest names in the German Schlager landscape and regularly placed in the charts with songs like “Egal” and “What if”. With the beginning of the corona pandemic, however, the native of North Rhine-Westphalia drew attention to himself with questionable and conspiracy-theoretical statements. After comparing Germany to a “concentration camp” on Telegram in January 2021 due to new corona regulations, RTL announced that it would cut him from the DSDS season at the time. A month later, his Instagram account was also deleted. Today Michael Wendler and Laura Müller run an OnlyFans account. The planned show with RTL2 is the singer’s first TV appearance in more than two years.

Accordingly, the 49-year-old was just as surprised as many of his fans. The native Briton goes on to say: “Of course I would like to distance myself 100 percent from Michael Wendler and his statements. This also means that I don’t want to appear at the same event as him. That’s why I canceled my appearance for ‘Schlager unter Palmen 2024’ today with a heavy heart. I hope you understand and we’ll see you somewhere else soon.”
