2. he doubled the ratings for ARD with his new "Silvester-Schlagerbooom".

3. he also reached number 1 in the German charts at the beginning of the year with his album "Nochmal!" together with duet partner Thomas Anders.

Silbereisen will not be seen live for six months

But now things are set to calm down, at least for the time being. According to "Bild", the 43-year-old entertainer is planning a longer TV break.

According to Silbereisen, who has played the role of Captain Max Parger in the ZDF series "Das Traumschiff" since 2019, he has canceled all requests for further shows in good time.

However, it is set to start again in time for the beginning of summer. Before that, however, Silbereisen will not be seen live on TV for at least six months.

"I am infinitely grateful for everything I have been able to experience in recent times. It still feels like a dream," says Florian Silbereisen.

Silbereisen is busy with "Traumschiff" filming

The entertainer will not be bored in the next six months either.

"I'm far away with the 'Traumschiff'. We are literally starting at the other end of the world, in the South Seas," explains Florian Silbereisen in "Bild".

After filming for the TV series, however, longer vacations are planned.

Before the entertainer takes a break from TV, there will be another big party tonight at the "Schlagerchampions". Andrea Berg, Roland Kaiser, Maite Kelly and Andreas Gabalier will be among the guests on the ARD show.

"And of course I'm delighted that Nena will be singing with us again, with her daughter and her sons," Florian Silbereisen told Bild.
