Michael Austermeier
1955–2021

He was our soulmate …

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our best friend, comrade, and Chancy Squire bass player, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Michael Austermeier, in Hamburg (Germany) on Monday, September 13th, 2021. Now he has gone on a world tour forever …

He was our soulmate and filled our songs with life through his fantastic arrangements. He was such a talented, gifted musician, a true friend with an incredibly big and golden heart. We can’t find words to describe the huge void and stabbing pain he leaves behind. This immense loss came way too soon. R.I.P., Michael!

Your bandmates Klaus, Wolfgang and Michael K. as well as everyone who had a great time with you. We will dedicate the next album to you and will complete the already recorded new songs in your spirit!
