At the beginning of the year, Freddy Quinn was a cause for concern after he collapsed around Christmas and spent some time in hospital.

Freddy Quinn is supposed to officially say “yes” to his Rosi for the first time in his life. He married his former partner Lilli Blessmann, who died in Hamburg in 2008 and whose grave has now overgrown, in Las Vegas. However, the marriage was never officially registered and thus made valid.
Quinn and his fiancee have known each other for over 30 years and have been together for about ten years. “Rosi is a wonderful person with an incredibly big heart. We’ve been loyal to each other for a long time,” said the hit star Picture.
The globetrotter Freddy Quinn
Quinn spent part of his childhood with his father in the USA before returning to Vienna during the Second World War and then to Hungary via the Kinderlandverschickung. Then it was back to the Austrian capital via Antwerp, until he ran away at the age of 16 and joined a circus.
In the following years he lived in Italy, Algeria and France. In order to advance his music career, however, he settled in Germany at the end of the 1950s. Quinn speaks seven languages and sang in twelve until 2008, when he retired from pop music.

Quinn, who was born Franz Eugen Helmuth Manfred Nidl in 1931, did not propose to his Rosi romantically, as she admits in the interview. “It’s not Freddy’s way,” she says simply. However, they had been talking about it for many years and a few weeks ago they finally made up their minds.
Since then, everything has been going very quickly, according to the couple. They were in the middle of the planning. “There is still so much paperwork to be done,” points out the fiancée of the 91-year-old pop singer, who is one of the most successful in Germany. (mef)
