Modern Talking show 'sold out' despite increasing to two shows

Tickets to see Modern Talking's show on the evening of November 26 in Hanoi quickly sold out, forcing the organizers to add one more night (November 27) but still could not meet demand.

The organizers said that when the news reached Thomas Anders in Germany, the male singer was very surprised by the love of the audience. He said: "It's wonderful. Let's dance together."

Nguyen Huu Cuong, an overseas Vietnamese living in Hang Thung, Hanoi, came to the organizer's office to buy tickets. The audience showed off a photo taken in the 1980s and 1990s, when he had long hair like his idol Thomas Anders, and a collection of the group's vinyl records that he has kept for the past 30 years.

"Since 1985, when I heard the first hits of Modern Talking, I was immediately fascinated. I knew every melody, intro and lyrics of the songs. At that time, my best friends and I often looked in the mirror, turned up the music loudly, then lip-synced and imitated Modern Talking's movements. My passion for the group was further nurtured when I went abroad in 1989. I decided to do what I could to be like Thomas Anders, such as growing my hair long and dressing like him," Huu Cuong shared.

In addition to audiences from the 60s to 80s, Modern Talking is also loved by young fans. Little Pham Dinh Vinh, nicknamed "Mang", living in Hanoi, is one of the band's most ardent fans. Mang remembers 29 Modern Talking songs, researches all the information and collects the band's CDs. You're My Heart, You're My Soul is his favorite song. He longs to sing Modern Talking songs to Thomas Anders.

During the show, Thomas Anders asked the organizers to run the lyrics on the stage screen so that the audience could join in. In addition, the production team also brought technical experts from Germany to Vietnam to control the entire sound and lighting system in the show. The band was prepared with five sound consoles with the same technical index, taking only 40 seconds to switch when there was a problem.

Upon arriving in Vietnam, Thomas and the band will meet the press. He will also sign autographs and take pictures with fans after the press conference. It is expected that some fans will also join the group welcoming the band.
