Singer Mross performs in tribute to his deceased mother in the song titled "Sundays Again"

In a poignant and emotional episode of "Immer wieder sonntags," broadcast live from the Arena of Europa-Park in Rust, host Stefan Mross made a heartfelt return to the show following the death of his mother. The show, which has been produced in the same location since 2005, was held in a full house under a slightly cloudy but sunny sky.

Mross, a well-known Schlager star, was represented by his ex-wife Stefanie Hertel in the previous edition due to his short hiatus. This week, he took the stage himself, paying tribute to his mother with a moving performance.

The moderator, visibly moved himself, mentioned that the show would be different due to the emotional events of the last two weeks. He acknowledged that only those who have experienced similar situations can truly understand the emotions being felt.

Mross' ex-wife Hertel moderated the show at his explicit request the previous week. This week, his girlfriend, Eva Luginger, and his brother were in the audience, receiving a heartfelt message from Mross: "Together we are strong and together we will overcome everything."

The show was lively, according to Mross' hosting, with Beatrice Egli, Nicole, Ronja, and Maximilian Arland among the guests. The moderator sang "Who would I be without you" after Mross' performance, a touching gesture that resonated with the audience.

Throughout the show, Mross thanked the audience several times for their support. The moderator also mentioned he had not been moved since the loss of his father 15 years ago, but the emotions of the day were evident. There was prolonged applause for the moderator at the beginning of the show on ARD.

Mross quoted his mother during the show, saying, "Make people laugh, people want to sing." His performance, filled with emotion and humour, was a testament to his mother's wisdom and the power of music to heal.
