If you didn\u2019t know better, you could scarcely believe it. In the afternoon Thomas Anders should be on the way to Moscow. His mission: an important TV show with more than 20 million viewers as well as a concert with over 5,000 spectators. A few hours earlier the singer was chatting away as if the afternoon was no more than a spot of shopping and meeting up for coffee with friends on the program. Maybe it’s the routine, or rather the experience of a dozen guest performances in the Russian capital where people recognise Anders on the street and ask him for his autograph or if they can take a snapshot with him that make the singer seem so relaxed.<\/p>\n

\"IBIZASTYLE_THOMASANDERS-003\"<\/a>And last but not least the years at Dieter Bohlen\u2019s side, when the two made German pop history together as the duo Modern Talking. And while such hits as \u201cYou\u2019re My Heart, You\u2019re my Soul\u201d and \u201cTV Makes the Superstar\u201d still remain fresh in the global memory, the former companions have long since conquered new territory over the past decade. While Bohlen has been presiding over \u201cDeutschland sucht den Superstar\u201d (\u201cGermany has talent\u201d) in the face of dwindling ratings trying to make headway against the end of a casting age, Thomas Anders has been getting a veritable solo career off the ground. Concerts all around the world, gala performances, radio shows, fan-days \u2013 just peeking at his schedule is enough to make you dizzy. The mention of it wrings a smile from the native of M\u00f6rzer. This is one relaxed guy. And there\u2019s definitely a reason for this, too: his second home on the island of Ibiza. And that\u2019s where the love affair didn\u2019t quite get off on the right footing.<\/p>\n

One summer way back in the 80s, Anders landed in Ibiza for the first time. \u201cIt was raining. It wasn\u2019t anything like I\u2019d expected. Many of the guests were getting on a bit in years; I didn\u2019t hit it off with them at all\u201d he recalls, looking down at his feet in the same breath. \u201cNowadays, of course, I see it in a completely different light. It\u2019s not that the others were too old, but that I was just too young.\u201d As someone in their early twenties in the \u00fcber-beautiful Hotel Na Xamena \u2013 it just didn\u2019t match. At that time. One and a half decades later, we write down 1999, the story took a new turn. Anders and his wife were invited to stay at a friend\u2019s. All of a sudden, when it came to Ibiza things really clicked. The two of them were to travel to the island more than five times in that year alone. \u201cWe were completely enamoured!\u201d says the singer.<\/p>\n

And it was an infatuation with repercussions: it\u2019s but a tiny step from taking half a dozen short trips to the idea of buying a home. The chilled-out nature of the island, the easy-going daily life – you get to know people here who make it easy for you to slot in. The basis for a future here had to be well founded. Nonetheless, the search for a home went on and on. \u201cToday, of course, I know how things here have to go at their own pace\u201d says Thomas Anders. At that time \u201cI felt like I was in a parallel universe.\u201d Homes without electricity or without heating. Others with defective cabling and leaking hot tubs. And to cap it all: unreliable sellers. No less than three whole years had to elapse before he found it. By 2002 the family had grown: the clan now had a son. The idea of \u200b\u200ba house had almost receded into the background when things suddenly took a step forward. \u201cWe were sitting at the breakfast table, reading the newspaper. An ad caught our eye. French country house in Can Rimbau\u201d recalls Anders. After that, everything moved at great speed.<\/p>\n

\"IBIZASTYLE_THOMASANDERS-002\"<\/a>They went to see it and liked it. Their gut feelings didn\u2019t deceive them. The Anders still live in this house today. And they still like it. In the beginning, the three of them were spending up to four months a year on the island; nowadays it\u2019s still an average of six weeks.<\/p>\n

He got accustomed to it long ago. He adores the finer things of the island and tolerates those which perhaps are not quite so optimal or rather, unusual habits in local cooperation. Thomas Anders doesn\u2019t miss artistic cliques or the like at all. In Germany, the artist\u2019s home base is in the more reflective locality of Koblenz. And in Ibiza, too, things can quieten down. There\u2019s coffee with his fellow singer Sandra. He sees Ralph Morgenstern on occasions, as well as Gaby K\u00f6ster. That is already often enough. \u201cI always need some distance\u201d. Anders sees things clearly. \u201cI like self-sufficiency.\u201d His credo for his second residence under Ibiza\u2019s sunny skies hasn\u2019t changed in over ten years: \u201cEnjoy the island.\u201d Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n
