Musician Konstantin Wecker's career has come to an end.

In the heart of Vienna, Austria, the Austria Presse Agentur (APA) stands as a significant news agency. Owned by a group that includes Austrian daily newspapers and the ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation), the APA is the largest national news and press agency in the country.

Recently, the spotlight has shifted towards another renowned figure in Austria - musician Konstantin Wecker. Wecker, known for his anti-Nazi song "Willy", has shared some personal struggles that have affected his career.

Wecker, a talented pianist, has revealed that nerve damage in his hands has left him unable to play the instrument. This condition is attributed to his long-term alcohol consumption, a subject he discusses in his new book, "Der Liebe zuliebe".

In the book, Wecker admits to consuming several bottles of alcohol, not just glasses of wine, a habit that often motivated him to perform concerts, looking forward to the wine afterwards. After two detoxification treatments, Wecker is now considered a dry alcoholic.

"Der Liebe zuliebe" has been published by bene / Droemer Knaur. In the book, Wecker also opens up about his long-term alcohol consumption, the nerve damage it caused, and its impact on his life and career.

Unfortunately, recovery for Wecker's hand condition does not seem likely, which means that his iconic song "Willy" may not be performed again. This revelation has left many fans saddened, as Wecker's music has been a source of inspiration for many.

Despite these challenges, Wecker continues to make headlines. In the past, he has been in the news due to his cocaine consumption. However, his latest book provides a deeper insight into his personal life and struggles, offering a glimpse into the life of one of Austria's most celebrated musicians.

The APA, with its commitment to providing news and press services in Austria, continues to cover these developments, keeping the public informed about the lives and careers of their favourite personalities.
