He became a star in 1971 with the song “Schöne Maid”. However, Tony Marshall has struggled with health issues in recent years, and the high-risk dialysis patient withdrew from the public eye. The 85-year-old passed away on Thursday evening in the presence of his family, a spokeswoman said on Friday.
Marshall was an entertainer all his life and was especially successful with his hits. The native of Baden-Baden had a state exam as an opera singer, could play four other instruments in addition to piano and violin and sang in eight languages.
Privately, he was a family man: father of three, grandfather and great-grandfather had been married to his childhood sweetheart Gaby for decades. His sons Pascal and Marc accompanied their father on trips. Together with his daughter Stella, Marshall was involved in his foundation for people with disabilities.
But Marshall’s own health also became increasingly difficult over the years. He had a pacemaker and suffered from a neuropathy called polyneuropathy, which limited his urge to move. In early 2019, shortly before his birthday, he had to be temporarily hospitalized. He later survived a corona infection, for which he had to go to a clinic as a high-risk patient, and underwent emergency surgery in May 2022. He also had to cancel concerts and performances for health reasons.
He appeared less and less in public, even though the media was very interested in his health condition – which Marshall found quite stressful. However, in 2021 he opened a personal gallery with photos, trophies, medals, gold records and other souvenirs in Gaggenau, Baden.
Two weeks ago – on February 3 – he was able to celebrate his 85th birthday. On the occasion, he had t-online announce: “I am still very lucky to be able to celebrate my birthday with the people who have always taken me as I am.” He enjoys the “security” and “the young, growing life” gives him strength. Less than two weeks later, Tony Marshall is dead.
