Birthday boy Frank Farian wants to set up a foundation

In a radio interview, the musician not only revealed how he wants to spend his upcoming milestone birthday. He also talked about his future plans – and there are quite a few of them.

Bad Vilbel – The music producer Frank Farian turns 80 on July 18th and wants to spend his birthday with his family. “I go to my favorite restaurant with my children,” said Farian on the “Silvia am Sonntag” program on Hit Radio FFH in Bad Vilbel.

Before his career as a producer, Farian had completed an apprenticeship as a chef. Both jobs have a lot in common, their “secret is the mixture”, said the 79-year-old, who became known among other things with the hit “Rasputin” by Boney M.

The producer sees the fact that this song is making the rounds internationally more than 40 years after its release as a great birthday present. He wants to give something back with social projects. “Helping others is important. The Frank Farian Foundation will come, ”announced Farian.

Farian, who was born in Kirn in Rhineland-Palatinate and now lives in Miami (USA), still has a number of projects on his list. There should be a movie about Milli Vanilli, another band produced by Farian, and a streaming series about Boney M. Who should play him is still unclear: “It has to be a very good actor who can and can make music looks a bit like Frank Farian. ”dpa
