Jan "Monchi" Gorkow "The problem is much bigger than Alice Weidel living in Switzerland"

The frontman of the band Feine Sahne Fischfilet is known for his commitment against right-wing extremists. Jan "Monchi" Gorkow talks about being a father - and what he thinks of AfD leader Alice Weidel.

Singer Jan Gorkow alias Monchi and his colleagues from Feine Sahne Fischfilet are only giving one concert in Switzerland this summer - tonight at the Gampel Openair.

The five musicians have traveled an extra 18 hours by bus from the Baltic Sea to the Valais. Monchi believes that so much effort should be rewarded - and challenges the festival visitors:

"I want to be lying on the Baltic Sea tomorrow evening and be able to say: Fatty, how awesome it was in Gampel."

Monchi: "I've never sung anything so emotional"

The conversation with blue News host Bettina Bestgen is not just about music, Monchi also talks about how being a father has changed him.

The singer mentions the song "Haut an Haut". "I've never sung anything so emotional," says the 37-year-old. This is no coincidence. After all, Monchi reveals a family secret in the song.

While the line "Stand in front of 10,000 people and only think of yourself" may make some people think of a confession of love for their partner, the sentence "Everyone says you look like me" should make it clear who is meant: Monchi's daughter.
