Zpěvák Bill Kaulitz nesměl promluvit 4 týdny - A Tokio Hotel tím pádem nemohli hrát koncerty, Evropská tour byla zrušena. Nyní Magdeburčané slaví svůj mini-comeback: Na festivalu v New Jersey, kde před nimi vystupoval Snoop Dogg.
Cysta musela být odstraněna z jeho levé hlasivky a po operaci musel dodržet striktní ticho, protože jeho hlas se musel trénovat opatrně. Celý měsíc bez Billa! Pro fanoušky tato situace vyústila v noční můru.
"Pomyslel jsem si: Oh Bože" Doufám, že mi to nikdo nedává za vinu." okomentoval to Bill situaci, "a doufám, že se nikdo nebude zlobit" Pro všechny antifanoušky to znělo jako rajská hudba. Tokio Hotel přitahují jako žádná jiná skupina.
V sobotu večer stál Magdeburčan na pódiu v New Jersey se svými 3 členy kapely - Tomem Kaulitzem (18), Gustavem Schäferem (19) and Georgem Listingem (21). Na Bamboozle festivalu se událo jejich první vystoupení od operace.
Kvůli předepsanému šetření hlasivek Billa, Tokio Hotel hráli jenom tři písně. " 4000 fanoušků stálo před pódiem a zpívalo všechny songy od srdce." řekl manažer David Jost. A to i když ještě nebylo US-album v Americe vydáno.
" Bill vypadal, že je hodně nedočkavý a napnutý, ale hned jak vstoupil na pódium všechna ta nervozita z něj odpadla." popsal Jost první vystoupení.
Na festivalu v New Jersey už vysoupily hvězdy jako Rolling Stones, Prince a Nirvana. Teď americký raper Snoop Dogg stál na pódiu před Magdeburčany. Muzikant se díval na Německý newcomer se zaujetím. Ale kvartet si na to bude muset rychle zvyknout.
Už ve čtvrtek budou kluci na Late Night Show of Conan O'Brien a 13. května vystoupí na plnohodnotném koncertu v Avalon, Hollywood.
Tokio Hotel stáli na pódiu v NY už v únoru. "New York Times" publikoval ve svém on-line magazínu příběh s videi o skupině z Německa. Tam můžete vidět známé zamilované vzkazy na transparentech a cedulích : " We love Tokio Hotel"
Je jedno, kde skupina vystoupí, všude uvádí fanoušky do varu.

Singer Bill Kaulitz was not allowed to speak a word for 4 weeks - and "Tokio Hotel" couldn't play concerts anymore, the European tour was cancelled. Now the young Magdeburgers celebrated their mini-comeback: at a festival in New Jersey. Snoop Dog performed before them.
A Cyst had to be removed from his left vocal cord, and after the operation there was strict silence for him, because his voice had to be trained carefully.
A full month without Bill! For the fans of Tokio Hotel this situation grew to a nightmare.
"I thought: Oh god! Hopefully nobody takes me that amiss," Bill commented the situation, "and hopefully nobody was angry." For many haters it was more like a holiday for the ears. Tokio Hotel polarizes like no other band.

At Saturday night now the Magdeburger stood with his three bandmates - twinbrother Tom Kaulitz (18), Gustav Schäfer (19) and Georg Listing (21) - on stage in New Jersey. At the "Bamboozle-festival" - the first performance after the operation.
Because of the still prescribed vocal cord-rest Tokio Hotel only played three songs.
"4000 fans stood in front of the stage and could sing every song along by heart," band-manager David Jost says. And that, though the US-album isn't released yet.
"Bill seemed to be pretty impatient and tensed up before the performance, but when he stood on stage, all the excitement was forgotten," Jost describes the first performance.

At the festival in New Jersey performed already celebs like the Rolling Stones, Prince and Nirvana. Now the American rapper Snoop Dogg stood on stage before the Magdeburger. A full blood musician, who looked at the German newcomers with interest for sure. But the quartet has to get used to that fast.
Already at Thursday the four boys will be in the Late Night Show of Conan O'Brien, and at May 13th they will perform their only complete concert in the US at the Avalon in Hollywood.
"Bill has turned the hearts of the New Yorker again to the left," manager Jost believes.

Tokio Hotel stood on stage in New York already at February. The "New York Times" published in their online-issue a cover story with video about the band "from Germany." There you can see the known love-offers on placards and chanties: "We love Tokio Hotel."
No matter, where the band performs, they put the fans in a state of emergency.
