 <\/p>\n\n<p>This adoption also attracted a lot of media attention, as Lindner was already openly homosexual at the time, making him an absolute exception in the industry.\nHe has been in a relationship with his partner, manager Peter Sch\u00e4fer, for many years and the couple got married in Munich in 2020 &#8211; an absolutely romantic and wonderful wedding!\nIn 1999, he took part in the German preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest with the fantastic song &#8220;Ein bisschen Sonne, ein bisschen Regen&#8221; and took a sensational sixth place.  <\/p>\n\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all!\nHe also continued to appear on TV, for example with a guest role in the RTL justice series &#8220;Hinter Gittern&#8221; in 2005 and as a social worker in an episode of the series &#8220;In aller Freundschaft&#8221; in 2002.\nIn the same year, he released the rousing swing album &#8220;Gigolo&#8221; together with the Thilo Wolf Big Band.\nBut that&#8217;s not all: Lindner was also able to demonstrate his skills on the cooking show &#8220;In Teufels K\u00fcche&#8221; and even won the title in 2005.   <\/p>\n\n<p>In 2008, Lindner played the leading role of chef Patrick in the TV film &#8220;Das Musikhotel am Wolfgangsee&#8221;, which can be seen as a symbolic return to his beginnings as a chef.\nThe film was broadcast in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.\nAs a pop singer, he continues to tour regularly throughout the German-speaking world, delighting audiences at his performances.    <\/p>\n\n<p>In 2012, he took part in the fifth season of the dance show Let&#8217;s Dance, where he came sixth with his dance partner <strong>Isabel Edvardsson<\/strong>.\nIn 2014, he celebrated a comeback in the German album charts with his anniversary album &#8220;Nur&#8221; mit deiner Liebe.\nIn February 2023, Lindner released the single (All) Deine Farben, which spent three weeks at number one in the German Conservative Pop airplay charts.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> \n <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iUGF0cmljayBMaW5kbmVyIC0gSGV1dGUgYmxlaWJlbiB3aXIgd2FjaCAoT2ZmaXppZWxsZXMgVmlkZW8pIiB3aWR0aD0iODAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQ1MCIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9BMnRhZ212RXBOND9mZWF0dXJlPW9lbWJlZCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93PSJhY2NlbGVyb21ldGVyOyBhdXRvcGxheTsgY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlOyBlbmNyeXB0ZWQtbWVkaWE7IGd5cm9zY29wZTsgcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlOyB3ZWItc2hhcmUiIHJlZmVycmVycG9saWN5PSJzdHJpY3Qtb3JpZ2luLXdoZW4tY3Jvc3Mtb3JpZ2luIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/musiknerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_A2tagmvEpN4_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.
