It all started in 1983, when composer and music producer Dieter Günther Bohlen proposed cooperation with Thomas Anders. He agreed without hesitation and they made their debut on stage together as Modern Talking. The group quickly became a sensation, and their, including: “You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul” or “Cheri, Cheri Lady” are still listened to by all generations.
They made a sensation as Modern Talking. After 4 years of activity, they suspended their career
The cooperation was successful for 4 years, after which the duo, still at the peak of popularity, announced the suspension of further activities. Behind the scenes, it was rumored that the reason was a conflict between the artists and Anders’ then wife, who was extremely jealous of his relationship with his fans and even the fact that she took over and became his manager did not change her attitude. However, those interested did not confirm these reports and focused on developing their solo careers.
At that time, Dietr founded the band Blue System, in the meantime collaborating with other vocalists, while Anders tried his hand at the music market, but without much success. The breakthrough was supposed to be in 1998, when Modern Talking decided to reactivate. They recorded several hit albums together, also regularly. Unexpectedly, after 5 years they announced that it was the final end. Fans did not hide their disappointment, hoping that they would see them as a duet again someday.
The Modern Talking musicians were not friends. Anders’ statement shocked fans
Many believed that Bohlen and Anders were not only companions at work, but also in life. These ideas were confirmed by the composer’s biography, which was published in 2002. He assured that he still had friendly relations with the singer and that they had always been close. The problem is that his former colleague had a completely different view of this relationship. – People thought we were friends, but Dieter and I were just stage partners. Then Dieter published a book that became a huge scandal in Germany. Unfortunately, there were many lies in it. He fantasized just to make money – in one of the interviews.
Fans did not hide their surprise, and information about their mutual dislike and conflict began to appear in the media. However, the musicians met again on the occasion of the group’s 30th anniversary, which they celebrated by releasing the compilation “30”. Supposedly, it was then that they were supposed to clear up any misunderstandings. – The chemistry between us was never off balance. However, I can say that Dieter and I met a few weeks ago. Enough time has passed. We are adults and we can look each other in the eye. The hatchet has been buried – Anders put an end to the speculations.
