What are Tokio Hotel actually doing these days?

Magdeburg – Screaming girls, flying underwear and millions of fans
worldwide – that used to be the daily life of Bill, Tom, Gustav and
Georg. The four guys from and around Magdeburg conquered the charts and
hearts of countless girls as “Tokio Hotel”. However, things concerning
the former teen idols have been quiet for a few years. No new songs, no
interviews, barely any public appearances. However, what are the four
Tokio guys up to?
Tokio Hotel became Germany’s most successful band after they achieved
their breakthrough with their debut single “Durch den Monsun” in 2005.
The four of them also became teen favourites in France, Austria, England
and even America. The four Germans led a rock star lifestyle for almost
five years.
Yet things for the Magdeburg guys have suddenly gone quiet after
their last big tour in 2010. The band withdrew from the public. The
twins Bill and Tom (both 22) even moved to Los Angeles. For two years
they have been living with their manager David Jost in a villa with
recording studio in the Hollywood Hills. The music producer has always
been one of the closest confidants of the band. Drummer Gustav (23) and
bassist Georg (25) have completely withdrawn from the world of celebs
and are living very down-to-earth together with their girlfriends in
Magdeburg.
None of the band members has been seen on TV for a long time. The
only exception: singer Bill surprisingly appeared on Heidi Klum’s
casting show “Germany’s Next Top Model” in April.
So what’s going on with the band? Will there be new songs? Or has
Tokio Hotel already broken up? When Georg was approached by reporters on
the street recently, the bassist reassured them: “Of course Tokio Hotel
still exists!” One would be hearing from them soon again. Though he
couldn’t reveal yet what it was about exactly. Gustav and Georg also had
been in touch with the twins on a daily basis. Everybody would be
feeling super. So one can be excited. It seems the monsoon isn’t totally
over yet for Tokio Hotel.
