“There was a time in your life when music wasn’t coming along well for you. Were you unhappy with that situation?”

Johann (Hans) Hölzel (19 February 1957 – 6 February 1998), better known by his stage name Falco, was an Austrian rap, pop and rock musician. He is the only artist to score a #1  in the U.S. with a German language song: ‘Rock Me Amadeus’. His albums and singles have sold over 60 million copies worldwide. On the 6th of February Falco’s jeep got hit by a bus when he left the parking lot of Tipico Azuca. He suffered multiple injuries which turned out to be fatal. To this day his grave at the Vienna Central Cemetery remains the most visited, with flowers left there every single day. We will never forget you. May you rest in peace.

“Well, you know what human beings want to do always on this planet is to climb mountains, you know, and sometimes I think we forget that we have to come down from a mountain too before we’re climbing the next higher one…”                                                              - Falco, American Bandstand 1986
