Last but not least: Tupac Shakur (25)

When it comes to Gölä, *Blick* shows no mercy. Or what was that about «Hip-Hop Superstar Tupac Shakur (25)»?

The story was heart-warming: Blick regular Gölä brings his offspring Mike on stage at his Hallenstadion concert. He likes rap instead of dialect Büezer rock, but is otherwise quite alright ("Instead of rock, we now have Büezer rap"). And the joint performance was - Blick.ch has the Video evidence - refreshingly good. Even a 15-year-old deserves a beer with his father "as a reward for the performance".

However, there is one flaw in the reporting. Tupac Shakur, Mike's great role model, is not 25, but dead. And he's been dead for a trivial 16 years. Of course, you don't need to know that, but you can. After all, the young man sold 75 million records and is still considered an icon of music history today. 

Incidentally, this is not the first time that Gölä and Tupac (2Pac) have appeared together in a Blick article. Back in 1999, the now retired (but no less legendary) H. Elias Fröhlich wondered why musicians like "2Pac, who was shot dead two years ago" were "doing like animals" in the US charts ("They're crazy, the Americans!"). Perhaps because they were still "beastly" famous back then. But so was Gölä at the time, who received the verdict "Victory! Bravo, Gölä!". (hae)
