Toni Krahl, renowned figure of Ostrock, croons a tribute for Anna R. in heartfelt remembrance.

In a heartfelt tribute, DDR band Silly's iconic frontman, Toni Krahl, is set to perform once more with the band following his departure in the spring. This special occasion marks the memorial concerts for AnNa R., the Rosenstolz star who tragically passed away at the age of 55 in March.

AnNa R.'s connection with Toni Krahl began through Silly, and they often crossed paths when she joined the band in 2019, following Rosenstolz's disbandment in 2012. Toni Krahl fondly remembers AnNa R. as a fragile yet complementary presence to Julia Neigel on stage.

The memorial concerts will take place on October 12 and 13, 2025, at the Columbiahalle in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Toni Krahl will be joining the band, having taken AnNa R.'s place in Silly since 2023.

In a surprising turn of events, Toni Krahl will also be performing with Silly on a cruise ship this Friday, September 5. The cruise ship, MSC "Poesia," boasts over 1000 fans on board.

Meanwhile, DDR Schlager star Veronika Fischer has announced the cancellation of her farewell tour due to illness. Her voice is currently under medical treatment, and no new information about her health or future performances has been provided.

A posthumous album from AnNa R. is expected to be released, but no new details about concerts in her honor or a potential album release date have been revealed.

The cruise route includes stops in Warnemünde, Poland, the Baltic Sea, Sweden, and Denmark. The Berlin Columbiahalle will also host the memorial concerts for AnNa R. in October, making it a significant destination for fans of both Silly and Rosenstolz.

No new facts about upcoming events such as "Berlin Neulandpro Connect 2025", "Back to the future" concert, "Swan Lake" ballet, Christmas in Berlin 2025, Blinded by Delight show, or events in September 2025 in Berlin were provided in this report.

AnNa R. was found lifeless in her apartment in Berlin-Friedrichshain in March of this year, leaving a void in the hearts of her fans and colleagues. The memorial concerts will undoubtedly serve as a poignant reminder of her talent and the impact she had on the music industry.
