German musicians discuss song rights and autobiography

German music figures have shared updates regarding their professional legacies and financial ventures. Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer, members of the successful pop duo Rosenstolz, announced they have sold the rights to their band's songs. The proceeds from the sale are being invested into the Theater des Westens in Berlin, where the duo serves as artistic directors. While the sale provides funding for the theater, which operates without subsidies, the duo faces uncertainty regarding their future at the venue as their lease is set to expire in April 2027.

In a separate development, singer G. G. Anderson discussed his upcoming autobiography, “Sonntagskind,” scheduled for release in February. In an interview, Anderson detailed his career, his life in Eschwege, and his ongoing musical activities, including a new single titled “Killerblick” released through his label at Kontor in Hamburg.
