we are currently discussing on a daily basis what is appropriate to share and how to carry on with our music. It just doesn’t feel right to do business as usual and we won’t. At the same time music has always been a place of love, hope and unity and we’re trying to find ways to keep sharing this with you. We’re sure everybody understands we can’t pursue our upcoming tour as planned but we can announce today that we have successfully moved a majority of the shows to new dates in 2023. More to follow. All tickets remain valid.
Sending love to each and everyone of you. Georg, Gustav, Tom, Bill

Q&A:
Bill said he can’t stand cheap people who feel jealous every time and can’t share anything or give anything to other people.
If Bill liked someone who has a child, the baby would not prevent him from dating that person.
When the twins are angry, they go to a corner and smile for 60 seconds. Bill also said that Tom can’t calm him down because they share every thing.. So when one is angry, the other is too. It has to be other people who cool them off, e.g. their best friend.
A drawing of Pumba in the Deluxe edition of ‘Dream Machine’ was drawn by Bill and Tom’s mother. It was a Birthday card at first.
A girl offered Tom to shoot masterclass of sound producing on YouTuve, and he said he will think of it and ‘soon’ post on his Instagram.
One of Gustav’s best day of his life was his wedding.

They would tell their 2005′ selves: ‘Never look back and be able to say ‘no’ sometimes’.
They said Natalie Franz discovered the magicstripes while working with Tokio Hotel. Bill said Natalie had always had the drive to do something such as magicstripes, as she’s really focus on her business. He supports her.

Bill said it’s really important to not change for someone else, that one has to remain oneself in a relationship.
If they could time travel, Bill and Tom would go to the future to explore other planets.
Bill said that one of his best experience ever was when he jumped out of a place in Hamburg with a parachute. He said it was amazing.
Tom wrote ‘Something New’ like a movie score and kept it just like a soundtrack for a very long time. But many people kept telling them that it was great and that they should work on it, so they did. That’s how the song was born. Moreover, Bill wanted to create a song with a very high pitched vocal, so that’s what he did as well.
One question was about musical production, and Tom said that he’s still learning and that the most important things are bass line and drums. Vocals are the last thing to edit usually.
Bill said that they’ll soon add more tour dates and that they’ll go to a lot of places. It will last until january or february.

They’re planning on shooting ‘Boy don,t cry’ and ‘Easy’ in Germany.
Bill said he doesn’t read a lot, but sometimes he reads motivation books.
Bill tries to surround himself with people eager to try new things and to always do something. It motivates him better than books. They haven’t read russian books either, but they’ve heard stories when they were younger, such as Baba Yaga (though it’s more Slavic folklore).
Bill and Georg’s comfort zone is Christmas time, Tom’s is being with friends and Gustav’s is coming home from tour.
They’ll maybe do a cover one day, but not now.
‘In die Nacht’ was created in Spain. They wrote the music before the lyrics.
They prefer travelling by bus than planes, as it gives them more time to sleep.

Q&A:
A guy asked Bill why he stopped talking so much on stage. He used to talk often about his parents and their divorce. Tom said that it was a good question. Bill explained that he was only 15-16 and he was very nervous about every show and that those speeches helped him calming down. And now he understands that people go to their shows to listen to their music and not his speeches. And when he goes to shows himself, he hates these speeches, because he goes for music, not for listening to people talking. But he said he’ll try to find a middle way.
A girl asked them what was the funniest accident of ther childhood. Tom said he doesn’t see any ‘fun’ in accidents. But the twins remembered something; when they were kids, they went sledging and Bill pushed Tom, so they fell down, and a girl, who was right after them, cut Tom’s brow. They started arguing whose fault it was. Tom said it was Bill’s, and Bill accused the girl.
They think Marylin Manson a cool and unique artist.
Sometimes, Bill would like to have long hair again when he’s on stage.
A girl asked Bill why he doesn’t like Trump. She offered him two options: a) because he is in sympathy with other celebrities on hating Trump, or b) because he thinks Trump is a bad politician. Bill chose the second option and said he always has his own opinion on every ussie. He just doesn’t like Trump’s politics.
Someone asked ‘what if extraterrestrial beings are pure monsters like creatures in movies’. Bill said society makes us being afraid of them on purpose. He believes that if one day they come to Earth, we should be welcoming and hospitable to them. People should also invite them to live here ‘because our planet is beautiful”.
If Bill and Tom were not twins and met for the first time as adults, they believe that they would definitely become best friends, as they are so much alike and would feel like being soulmates. Georg joked that they would date, then.
Bill said that he once heard a tap on his hotel door during the tour. He thought that it was his meal order, but when he opened the door, it was a fan. She said ‘May I talk to you? For five minutes, not more!’. He was surprised and kind of confused and replied: ‘No. You shouldn’t come here and interfere into my personal space’. She began crying and he asked her to go and after she fell down on the floor and continued crying. Bill said it was a real hysteria.
Someone asked them to choose between not feeling the taste of food and orgasm. They chose not to feel orgasm because it doesn’t last long.
They said they miss kindergarten. Bill especially misses the innocence and pureness.
Bill said they got so many sexual questions and feels like all Russians do is have sex.
Bill said that the best feeling is experiencing things for the first time. He’d like to experience certain things again.
Georg said he once passed out during a flight from Amsterdam, on his way to the bathroom.
They couldn’t travel by tour bus because of bad road conditions in Russia.
They are shooting two new music videos in May, and there’s going to be a new single as well.
Someone asked when and where they came up with ‘Cotton Candy Sky’ and what was the creative process behind it. Bill said that they were together in LA and were kind of drunk. The song is meant to remind ourselves of the feeling you get after. Tom said that it is like when you know you did a lot and it was great, but that now the sun is back.
They could imagine a movie based on their book. Bill would love to. But since there will be two versions of the book, Bill imagine shooting two movies. David Kross would be in his role, and Georg thinks Johnny Depp would be great in Tom’s role.
They think their songs from their earliest albums are too childish now and do not represent who they are today.
If they had to introduce their band to someone only with five songs, they would pick ‘Monsoon’, ‘Don’t Jump’, ‘Automatic’, ‘Love who loves you back’ and ‘Stop, Babe’.
Bill usually writes the lyrics after the melody. For example, there are six different versions of Easy.
Gustav said he only does the wave at the end of a concert if he’s in the right mood.
They’re planning on visiting Marrakesh.
Someone asked them what are their biggest “What ifs”. They had to think a lot about this and Tom finally said: “What if we hadn’t met our stepfather?”
Tom said he doesn’t like people buying pets; he prefers adopting.
Bill’s mermaid tattoo is about love. It’s about pure love without gender or differences.
After shows, they debrief with the crew and say what went well and what didn’t. Team point of view : the band is very professional and a little bit authoritarian; they know what they want to do.
It took almost a year to build the stage.
They talked about reality show. Tom would like to be in the Bachelor, and Bill in Punk’d.
They would love to go to Burning Man, but they still prefer Coachella.

Q&A
Bill said he’s not afraid of getting old. He likes wrinkles and grey hair, he likes being old and getting older feels good. He also said that he is not afraid of dying and there are days when he thinks he could die and that would be fine, because his life is good and he’s been through a lot of amazing things and he has lived a good life and he is not afraid of getting old and dying. They also said that it is basically what ‘as young as we are’ is about, that it is the meaning of the song. Georg added that everything they’ve been through lead them to this moment and they wouldn’t be here so he has no regrets and he wouldn’t change anything that has happened in his life, because thanks to this they are all where they are now.
Moreover, Bill said that the twin book will be released between winter of this year and spring next year.
A fan asked them a question concerning her problems with her boyfriend. Bill said that if he doesn’t make her happier, then she shouldn’t stay with him. He said he kind of had the same problem in his past relationships. The girl said she wouldn’t leave him because she loves him too much. So Tom said that he believes 1000% that time will heal everything, so she doesn’t have to worry about if it will break her or his heart because time will always heal everything.

Bill said that he works a lot and is the most creative when he’s sad, but when he’s happy and in love, he has other things to do.
They talked about how they choose different countries to go to, and that the reason they didn’t go to Denmark was because the venue they wanted wasn’t available at the time they would have liked the concert to be. They also added that the route must make sense, they can’t go back and forth, so Denmark didn’t work this time.
About the stage, their first sketches were nothing like the result. They presented their idea to their team and then their lighting people told them what they thought and presented their own ideas and then they all worked out the final result.
Gustav’s wedding was really nice, with fireworks. Bill liked Gustav’s wedding because he could wear nice clothes there.

All the boys think that Georg should get married soon.

Bill is more spontaneous than Tom.

Bill said the show in Warsaw was the best of the tour.
They talked about weird dreams they’ve had. Georg said that when they were in Italy, he had a dream in which he was with Angela Merkel. He said it was awesome. A fan said that Merkel isn’t so cool and Bill argued and said they all love Merkel. Gustav joked, saying: “no photo for you tonight”.
If they had only one wish, Bill would ask for another million wishes.
Bill’s role models are Davie Bowie, Robyn, Britney Spears, Cher, etc.
Tom would like to know what music their fans listen to.

Gustav said Bill is clearly the best uncle. When Tom saw Gustav’s daughter for the first time, he said something like: pppppffrr.
Bill is still trying to believe in true love, but he finds it harder. According to Tom, this is called ‘growing up’.
Bill and Tom told a story that took place ten years ago in a plane. They were trying to sleep, but Bill was sharing his window with a guy behind him. Bill closed their curtain and the guy opened it back, and that went on and on for a while. Then, the guy broke off Bill’s “beautiful gel black nails” (Tom’s words). Tom said he hit the man, but Bill says he in fact hit the curtain.
