In the new TV documentary "Die Toten Hosen - Das letzte Album" about the legendary Düsseldorf punk rockers, the band's frontman tells us that he has unexpectedly become a father again.
"I had already imagined my path to retirement to be different, but it's just not happening now," says the 63-year-old, who celebrated the premiere this week in a Mainz cinema - in the presence of Campino, bassist Andi Meurer and drummer Vom Ritchie.

You can make plans however you want and suddenly everything is different. "And I think having a child is probably the most beautiful reversal," Campino continues.
"We always have to take life as it comes, and in that respect I can just see myself pushing cars across the carpet again and I feel good about it."
Band had the camera follow them for two years
For the TV documentary "Die Toten Hosen - Das letzte Album" by director Eric Friedler, the band allowed the camera to look over their shoulders for two years as they worked on their last album.
After the premiere in Mainz, which was also attended by his friend, football coach Jürgen Klopp, Campino described the production as a "wonderful gift for us".
