Some images from the last delivery of MTV's European Music Awards, in Liverpool have
concerned some fans of the German band Tokio Hotel. The close-ups of their leader Bill Kaulitz
make evident how extremely thin he is and how exhausted he looks. 2008 was not easy;
after Bill's surgery, the band completed some dates they couldn't before and then went after
the American Dream, which meant a lot of promotion and a full agenda, 24 hours a day.
The band, formed back in 2001, has achieved in a relatively short period, what many can't
achieve in a lifetime. However, the lack of a private life and excessive attention to the music career
can take its toll on the boys, sooner or later. Four boys who, from their early teen years, give up their
every day to cash the check of fame, can easily lose touch with reality and lose their own way quickly.

Show business is a circus that does not know what resting means. Today, not being on Tour or not
having a record out is the same as not existing. The management of the German band knows the
rules of the game by heart (one day we will discuss them in depth) and they have chosen not to stop
their engines. It would be interesting not to put fame before health, though. The Show must go on...
but not at any price.
