Stefan Mross performs a live tribute for his recently departed mother
In a poignant moment on German television, Schlager star Stefan Mross took to the stage on ARD's "Immer wieder sonntags" to pay tribute to his recently deceased mother. Two weeks after her passing, Mross performed a heartfelt rendition of "Who Am I Without You," a song that resonated deeply with the audience.
The performance was met with prolonged applause, a testament to the emotional impact it had on the viewers. Mross, visibly moved, addressed his girlfriend Eva Luginger and his brother in the audience, stating, "together we are strong, and together we will overcome this."
Prior to the show, Mross was unable to host due to his mother's passing. In his absence, his ex-wife, Stefanie Hertel, stepped in to help, fulfilling his expressed wish as a sign of support during his grieving period. Hertel, with whom Mross was married from 2001 until their divorce in 2012, and their daughter Johanna, were instrumental in keeping the show running smoothly.
Mross expressed his gratitude to Hertel during the live broadcast, acknowledging her role in helping him through this difficult time. He also announced that the show would be different due to the emotional journey he and his team have been through in the past two weeks.
Reflecting on his performance, Mross shared that he felt deeply moved, mentioning that he hadn't felt this way since losing his father 15 years ago. The 49-year-old host's emotional journey was not lost on those watching, with many acknowledging that only those who have experienced similar situations can understand the emotions that Mross and his team have been through.
Despite the sadness, Mross's performance was a testament to the power of music and the healing it can provide in times of grief. His tribute to his mother was a poignant reminder of the bonds that connect us all, and the strength we find in each other during times of loss.
