Party singer Mickie Krause says he has overcome his bladder cancer and wants to step back professionally in the future. The 52-year-old said this in a video that he published on his Instagram account on Thursday.

Krause said he was in Berlin for a check-up. No tumor was found during an endoscopy. "So that means: I'm tumor-free, I'm alive and well."

However, he noticed that his workload with three weekly appearances in Mallorca and additional shows in Germany had become a bit too much. There are still many shows coming up for the Oktoberfest season in September and October. That's why he decided to step down in the coming year. "I have decided to reduce my appearances in Germany by 50 appearances, to a maximum of 150," explained Krause.

Even at après-ski and in Mallorca you will no longer experience it as usual. "In 2023 I only want to do what I really enjoy doing," said the Munsterlander. "I don't want to lose the fun and I hope you don't lose the fun with me either."

Krause announced in February that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer and had already had an operation. The disease was discovered while filming the Vox show “Showtime of my life – Stars against cancer”. In the program, celebrities drew attention to the topic of cancer prevention - including an accompanied check-up at the doctor's.
