well, some of you (those who have been at Die Krupps 25th anniversary tour gigs in 2005) probably know that Engler uses a big metal tube, beating it with metal sticks. in Rakvere (at Green Christmas festival) one guy got injured when Engler had thrown those sticks into the audience. a concussion of the brain
well, he got home after visiting a hospital but a week later had problems with memory.
life is bloody unfair - Jürgen Engler is probably one of the most friendly and kind rock / pop musicians on Earth. and a man who lives very healthy life - no smoking, no alcohol, no drugs. never used any of them - as he said.
well... here is another, much funnier story. after the gig (the next day) when the local mayor made an excursion for the band - they climbed in ruins of the ancient fortress, made a blast with an old cannon etc - there was one more ritual - to drink a local drink (including strong acohol) and other members of the band were very surprised, seeing Engler drinking alcohol for the first time through years (or decades - depending how many years some of them have been a member of Die Krupps)
