"Tokio Hotel" singer about his horror accident

Bill Kaulitz: it is a miracle, that I am still alive.
He crashed his car into the railing.

This horror accident has marked him for life!

Rockstar Bill Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel, was caught in a traffic accident last week at the A24 with his Audi Q7 and crashed into the railing. His car was totalled.

In Bild Bill talks exclusively about the accident and how he survived the crash.



The singer:" I think about the accident every day.
I think, I will need a while to work through this.
It is still very deep in me.
I thought I would never get out alive.
I have definitely never been this close to death.
It is a miracle that I am still alive.
In moments like these, you realize what is really important and you re-evaluate your life".

What happened exactly that afternoon?

Bill: "I was alone in the car and on the way to Berlin.

I am basically a very careful driver, have never had an accident and never drive too fast.
All of a sudden a car drove onto my lane without using the blinklight.

I tried to steer clear and went into a skid".

Bill hit the brakes, tried to stop the car. Then he crashed into the rail.

Bill: "In that moment you just try to save your life.
with another car the outcome could have been different.
I don't even have a scratch".

What did Bill do when the car had stopped:

Bill: "I immediately tried to get out of the car.

I used all my force to break the door open and called the police on my cellphone.

I was completely shaken up and in shock.
the police tried to calm me down on the telephone".

Bills relatives immediately traveled to Bill to Berlin, to be there for him and to calm him down.

Bill: "my brother Tom was incredibly worried.

I kept seeing the images in front of my eyes and did not sleep.
they all supported me and tried to build me up".

Despite the shock-experience Bill performed the next day at the MTV awards in Berlin, accepting the award for best band.

Tokio Hotel producer and manager David Jost to bild:

"we strictly advised Bill, to cancel the performance because of the accident.

But even though the accident was a huge shock to Bill, he insisted on performing".


In the beginning of next year, Germany's most successful rockband will be on the German roads again, this time not in a personal vehicle but in a huge tour bus.
on February 26 they will have a big concert in Oberhausen and on the 28th they will play a concert in Hamburg.

With another car the outcome could have been different.

Well, thank god Bill drove a mommy's car, aye?
I'm so glad God's kept him safe.
