Peter Maffay discusses family priorities and retirement
German rock musician Peter Maffay, 77, has shared personal reflections regarding his family life and his decision to step back from major touring. Maffay, who resides at Lake Starnberg with his wife Hendrikje Balsmeyer and their seven-year-old daughter Anouk, maintains a strict daily fitness routine to ensure he remains healthy for his family.
Reflecting on his past, Maffay expressed regret over the time lost with his son, Yaris, noting that his extensive touring schedule meant they spent very little time together while Yaris grew up in Mallorca. He stated, ‘We missed each other a bit in our lives. My fault. Now we are making up for it.’
To prioritize his family, Maffay is transitioning away from large-scale tours. His son, now a musician himself, has recently joined him on stage during his farewell tour, marking a period of reconnection.
