Bad news reaches us from Germany. Felix Flaucher (18 Summers / Silke Bischoff) died last night. The musician died last night in his apartment in Ludwigsburg (Germany). The new was confirmed by Frank Schwer who says: “Felix died late tonight after a long illness. He was a special person and a unique musician. Thank you for the time together (…), a lot of strength for the family and the people who are mourning.”
Flaucher ‘s Silke Bischoff project rose to immediate cult status following the release of the album “To Protect And To Serve” on I.N.R.I.
