Hannover –
Vicky Leandros (71), who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1972 with the song Après toi, tripped and fell off the stage during her performance in Hannover, Germany. The Greek-German singer suffered nothing from it and quickly stood up.
Vicky Leandros will remember Friday evening’s performance in Hannover for a long time. During the song Ich liebe das leven, ironically just after the sentence “What can happen to me”, she tripped over a box after which she fell one meter down. Employees quickly rushed to the rescue and helped the brave septuagenarian to his feet. No problem, as it turned out, because she simply continued with her performance.

After her performance, she wrote to the German newspaper Bild that she was in shock after the fall. “But I still didn’t think for a second about stopping the show. It’s the first time in my career that something like this has happened to me. It’s every artist’s nightmare.” According to Leandros, the fact that she escaped unscathed was due to ‘a good guardian angel’. “I could have fallen on my head or broken something. But now I don’t even have a bruise.”
Leandros won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1972 with the now legendary Après toi. The Belgian entry, Serge & Christine Ghisoland, finished in seventeenth and penultimate place with the song A la folie ou pas du tout. Next month, on April 4, Leandros will perform in our country, in Antwerp’s Queen Elisabeth Hall.
