Despite the fact that the group itself has long been gone, her songs became real hits. For all the time of their cooperation, Modern Talking participants became famous not only for their outstanding talents, but also by stormy discords.

The duet twice decided to leave the scene and joint creativity, which gave fans a lot of musical masterpieces. Despite all statements, fans did not stop waiting for their idols and rejoiced at their reconciliation. However, in the year, Modern Talking finally ceased to exist. For more than ten years, both the vocalist Thomas Anders and the founder of the group Diter Bellen, who is 70 years old, are occupied by a solo career.

How did the German artists become famous, what made them stop cooperation and how do they live now? His fascination with music began with love for the legendary group The Beatles. Inspired by the work of famous British, he was sick on his own to play the guitar and began to write songs. Already in adolescence, the future star managed to establish his own group and compose at least two hundred compositions that sounded at city holidays.

At the end of X, he wrote songs not only for himself, but also for the already held artists. It was at this time that the meeting of the novice musician with his future colleague, Thomas Anders, who was actually called Bernd Weidung, took place. He was nine than nine years younger, but already took the first steps into the world of professional creativity.

Thomas Anders was born on March 1 in the city of Münstermayfeld. Since childhood, the future performer mastered musical instruments and won in various competitions. The ambitious young man dreamed of becoming a famous artist. Already in the year he published his first album called Judy. And a year later, the same pseudonym was born, about which the whole world later learned.

So, the singer chose the name Anders, using the usual telephone reference book, and on the name Thomas he stopped guided by what was familiar to people in every corner of the earth. However, such works did not justify the hopes assigned to them. Glory to the young artist still did not come. It all changed only after Anders acquaintance with Diter Bolive. The meeting of two future legends occurred in M ​​in the German recording company Hansa.

Thomas Anders came there, responding to the request of Deter Boline to take part in the recording of the German -speaking version of the song Pick Up the Phone, which is part of the album of the French singer F. The musicians immediately found a common language and recorded five joint compositions. After their release, Anders came to the conclusion that there are not enough songs in German to gain world fame, which means that it is necessary to begin to create in English.

As a result, the duet recorded a cover on hits of other performers. In the year, the most important event for the artists took place-the same pop group Modern Talking “Modern Conversation” was born, which consisted of a sweet-haired Brunet Thomas Anders, who took a vocalist’s position, and a fair-haired chicker, Deter Boline, who became a producer, author of songs and a guitarist.

This phrase reflects the desire of participants to create music that can tell about the modern world and attract the attention of listeners, and also emphasizes the uniqueness of the duet's work itself. The first brilliant success of the Modern Talking sketches of the English -language song My Love is Gone “My Love left”, which later became the first official work of Modern Talking, were made by Diter Bollen before the creation of the group.

However, then the composition was not finished, since the author had difficulties with writing a chorus. The problem was solved after a while, when the musician was resting on the island of Mallorca. It was then the founder of Modern Talking and decided that the chorus of his unfinished brainchild should be performed with high voices. Subsequently, the "squeak" manner of singing has become the hallmark of the pop-diet.

Such an idea helped Deter Bolene realize two ideas at once. He managed to give his works a completely new and unusual sound. Also, the musician was able to harmoniously sound with singer Thomas Anders, because since his student times there was a screech. Since then, the chorus performed by a high vocalist voice was followed by the no less piercing party of Belen. So the same feature of the duet originated, which flowed from the song to the song and attracted more and more listeners.

It took the single only three months to take off to the tops in German and European charts. In Germany, the composition remained the most popular for as much as six weeks. In April, the Light saw the first studio album of Modern Talking under the simplest name - The First Album “First Album”. He called a real splash and became platinum. Since then, the pop group has been at the peak of fame.

Everyone knew about Diter and Thomas Anders.In their work, disco, electronic and pop music harmoniously combined. Such a versatility of work reflected the real spirit of x, and the innovative approach, demonstrated that it would seem that it would seem that incompatible styles are possible. Modern Talking conquered the hearts of many listeners, their records were bought by tens of thousands, and concert halls were always scored to capacity.

The peculiar style of Modern Talking participants also attracted the attention of the audience. In most cases, Thomas Anders both in clips and on the stage appeared in elegant jackets, light shirts and leather trousers, and Dieter Bolene preferred more comfortable clothes - multi -colored sports suits and jeans. It included another hit - Cheri, Cheri Lady "Dear, beloved lady." The second full -format release broke the record of his predecessor.

In two weeks, at least two hundred thousand of its copies were sold. And the third studio album Ready for Romance “Ready for Roman”, released in May, allowed Dither Bolena to achieve the long-desired heights and enter the top of the US charts. So Diter Boline and Thomas Anders appeared fans behind the ocean. Following the first three successful musical collections, three more albums followed.

For all three saturated years of cooperation, Glory did not leave Modern Talking for a second, but even this could not prevent discord within the team. The personal life of Modern Talking participants in the wake of popularity of the love sphere of life of Modern Talking participants was completely different. Dieter was sick for the first time in the year.

His chosen one was Erica Zauerland, who later gave birth to the wife of three children. But the marriage could not stand the frantic popularity of the musician, around whom there were many fans. The sore one started an affair with a girl named Nadia, and in M ​​Zauerland filed for divorce. However, the next wife of a love -to -musician was not Nadia at all, but the TV presenter Verona Put, but this marriage did not last long.

And in the year, the new chosen one of the artist Estephanius Kuster gave birth to a fourth child to him. This time the union also turned out to be fragile, and the couple quickly broke up. While Dieter was in a hurry to be in a hurry to settle down, Thomas Anders preferred a stable family life. In m, he met a girl from a rich family - Nora Balling. At the time of the first meeting of future spouses, Anders was just beginning his work and did not even suspect what heights he would be able to achieve, and his chosen one in his arms already had a diploma of a makeup artist-cosmetologist.

Thomas Anders with his wife Nora. Since then, the passports of Nora and Thomas showed a double surname-Vaidung Balling. The girl also took the position of manager and personal makeup artist of her star husband, which was why she began to accompany musicians on all tour. The marriage of Thomas Anders and Nora Balling was hard to call happy. The girl had a heavy character, and soon the press recognized about it.

The wife was wayward, powerful and jealous. These features not only caused conflict situations, but also interfered with the activities of the duet, in which not a single decision was made without the knowledge of Nora. She controlled all the actions of her star husband - indicated how he needed to dress, how to behave and forbade to cut his hair. Once she did not even put Thomas on the stage.

However, the musician, who sincerely loved his wife, turned a blind eye to this and dutifully put up with his fate. The first decay of the Modern Talking duet for fans, the news of the collapse of the group announced at the end of the year was a surprise, because it seemed that there was simply no significant reason for this. Sales of albums brought huge profits, and concert halls were always full of fans.

Many performers could envy such success. However, the German pop group still ceased to exist. While the musicians worked separately and sometimes gave sharp comments on each other, the students of Modern Talking wondered over the reason for the discord in the relations of colleagues. One version was the behavior of the wife of Thomas Anders Nora. The girl, who eventually became part of the back of the duet, did not miss any tour.

She constantly controlled her husband, carefully monitoring his stage and behavior. In some photographs, you can see that a large decoration with the name of his wife flaunts on Anders. Many believed that it was a whim of Nora herself. In addition, a girl who was not satisfied with the position of backing vocalist wanted to get out of the shadow of her husband and become the third member of Modern Talking.

And once the hard temper Nora played against the activities of the duet. Deter Bellen admitted that their performance in the Top of the Pops program was torn precisely because of the capricious behavior of Anders's wife. It is known that this is not the only event that she ruined. Life has its own plans: why the legendary Julio Iglesias could never become a singer, however, Thomas Anders himself adhered to the version that Modern Talking broke up due to conflicts and fatigue from an too loaded schedule.And in M ​​Anders and Balling still divorced, but not because of the complex character of the spouse.

The reason for the rupture of the relationship was Nora's love for another man.
