R.I.P. Felix Flaucher (18 Summers / Silke Bischoff ) – musician dies after a long illness

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. Records, the 3rd release by the project after “Silke Bischoff” (Chaos – 1991) and “The Man On The Wooden Cross” (I.N.R.I. Records – 1993). The title track was an absolute pearl and will continue to live among the many fans.
Rest in peace Felix, you leave a great legacy. Here’s the track “On The Other Side I’ll See You Again” taken from his debut album.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
