If One Direction and Justin Bieber caused hysteria in the 2010s, ten years before, this is the group Tokyo Hotel which was phenomenally successful for five years. Collective hysteria, fans who faint when they see them… the Tokyo Hotel Mania took over the whole world in 2001. But like all artists in their debut, the members of the group never imagined such a success for a single second.
Almost twenty years later, the German quartet is back! New album and new tour in preparation, the leader of the group Bill Kaulitz, and his brother Tom in a relationship with Heidi Klum, granted an interview to Nikos Aliagas for “50’Inside”. An interview to find this Saturday, April 15 on TF1 in which the two artists confide in their return but also their past success. Tokyo Hotelit’s 10 million albums sold around the world and no one would have imagined such success for these four boys with a rock but above all gothic look… starting with the artists themselves.

Tokio Hotel’s Bill Kaulitz oblivious to his success
“We never imagined becoming so well known.” admits Bill Kaulitz to the teams of “50’Inside” before adding: “When we became number 1, it was unreal”. Her brother, Tom, remembers the reaction of those close to them: “Everyone around us was like ‘oh my god'”. But if no one imagined such a success, teenagers will nevertheless identify with them for years. If, today, the group has changed a lot, especially in terms of its look, young fans who have become adults will soon be able to find them.
In effect, Tokyo Hotel returns with a new album and above all, a new European tour. With a date at the Olympia, May 15, 2023! But if their community expects to find their famous haircuts on stage, they may be very disappointed. Bill Kaulitz dropped his famous black spikes on his head and opted for long blonde hair. A look that suits her perfectly, and that won’t detract from her talent.
