Wolfgang Ambros, the iconic figure of Austropop, has been released from the hospital following a brief health scare. His management confirmed that he was hospitalized to address a neurological issue, but he is now set to return to the stage for his sold-out concerts this weekend.
The 73-year-old singer had to cancel a performance scheduled for Sunday, May 4, 2025, in Traunstein, Bavaria, which was intended to kick off his highly anticipated Germany tour. In an Instagram post shared on Sunday afternoon, Ambros expressed his deep regret about the cancellation, stating, "Dear friends, Wolfgang deeply regrets that the concert planned for tonight in Traunstein must be postponed."
His management had reported that Ambros needed to undergo medical treatment for clarification of a neurological problem, prompting the sudden cancellation. While the specific details of his health condition remain undisclosed, fans have flooded the comments section of his social media with messages of support, urging him to take care of himself. One fan wrote, "Take care of yourself," while another wished, "Please stay with us on stage for a long time!"
Despite the setback, Ambros is expected to perform at the Cselley Mühle in Oslip, Austria, on May 9, 2025, and again at the Sommerarena in Baden, Lower Austria, on May 10, 2025. His management has reassured fans that these performances will go ahead as planned.
The concert in Traunstein has been rescheduled for May 25, 2025, giving Ambros ample time to recover and prepare for his return to the stage. Fans of the singer, who has been a staple of the Austrian music scene since the 1970s, are eager to see him perform again.
Wolfgang Ambros is widely regarded as a pioneer of the Austropop genre, with a career spanning several decades. He is known for his hits such as "Schifoan," "Es lebe der Zentralfriedhof," and "Zwickt’s mi." This summer, he will also see the premiere of the musical "Augustin," which features music composed by him, set to debut in Amstetten, Lower Austria.
As he prepares to return to the stage, Ambros's fans remain hopeful for his continued health and success in the music industry. His contributions to Austrian music have left an indelible mark, and many are looking forward to seeing him perform live once more.
