German entertainer Torsten Sträter has provided updates regarding his health following medical challenges. He confirmed undergoing treatment for a tumor, which was diagnosed in April 2026, and is currently recovering.

Sträter also disclosed that a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis necessitated a strict diet avoiding sugar, which resulted in significant weight loss. He reported losing 25 kilograms, bringing his weight to 78 kilograms at a height of 1.80 meters. In discussing his ongoing struggles with weight management, Sträter expressed concerns regarding a potential ‘mild eating disorder’ stemming from his dietary restrictions, noting that avoiding sugar-laden products left him with very few calorie-dense food options. He is now working toward a target weight of 85 kilograms to improve his physical appearance and overall health.

Regarding his professional life, the 59-year-old performer stated that he does not intend to use his recent health struggles as subject matter for his upcoming stage program. He expressed a desire to remain entertaining rather than focusing on a ‘tumor story,’ noting that many people in his audience have faced similar fears and pains. Despite these health challenges, Sträter has returned to the stage and is scheduled to begin a new tour in September.
