Udo Lindenberg’s longtime bodyguard, Hansi Westerfeld, has died. Westerfeld was 57 years old. The cause of death is not yet known.
Lindenberg shared the news on Instagram on February 1 and addressed emotional words to his friend, tour companion and masseur. “Dear Hansi, you crossed the big river way too soon and way too suddenly… Life isn’t fair,” he wrote. However, Westerfeld will remain “forever in the heart of our panic family”. The 76-year-old explained that Westerfeld was always there for him, even in the middle of the night he could rely on him. The musician ended the post with the words: “Thanks for everything. Bon voyage my dear. Your Udo.”
Under the post, fans of Lindenberg shared the loss and expressed their condolences. One person wrote: “It’s very sad when a good friend and good pal dies suddenly. I can well imagine how you are doing Udo. Hansi will always remain in your heart.” Someone else tries with encouraging words: “My condolences, dear Udo and of course Hansi’s family and everyone who was close to him. Far too early, but: beyond the horizon it goes on…”
