administered as part of the Soviet occupation zone in what was left of Germany when the war had ended, a little under four years earlier. He received music lessons at school and, while still a child, learned to play various instruments at the Leipzig People's Music School (recorder, piano, clarinet and basson). He also taught himself to play the guitar. His musical role-model at this time was Acker Bilk. On leaving school he embarked, in 1965, on an apprenticeship with the Leipzig Electricity Supply
of his citizenship and expelled to West Berlin. It was a short-lived exile, as the East German government dissolved later that same year.
His autobiography appeared on 12 March 2007. Since that time much of the media focus involving his career has concentrated on the revelation that between 1967 and 1989 he provided information to the Ministry for State Security as an informal collaborator. The Stasi records identified him under the code name "IM Klaus Weber".
