"EXHAUSTED, THIN AND TONS OF MAKE-UP

Problems around the Tokio Hotel's frontman! Bill Kaulitz (19) looks sad, sick and exhausted. It is said he is anorexic. But what's the truth? How long will he get it?

When the band got the award for the best live show last year in November in the MTV European Music Awards, all of the criticts realised that the band from Magdeburg is on the top of the world. However the English and the American record companies still be restrained, the boys' fans' number is growing and growing and all of their gigs make hysteria. Tokio Hotel is the winner of the Olympic of Pop-World.

It looks like eveyrthing is fine around them. Inside it we can see, that there is a huge pressure on them and the boys are really stressed. They conquered the half world in record time, however not all of them could process it. Bill has paid the most for the success: his health. The newest pictures of him are shocking: he's pale, his look is tired and sad, his face despite the lot of make-up is hollow, and his body is thiner than ever. It's scary that how much he lost of the weight, it looks like he can't be more than 45 kgs. There are rumors that he's anorexic, hates his body, and he can accept himself with tons of make-up only. He isn't seen without make-up in his free-time either, and until his brother, Tom was sunshining without his T-shirt on the beach in California, he didn't take off his clothes.

When the lights are off, we can see the signs of tiredness on Bill. He doesn't sleep much, eats a bit, the continuos stress and lots of expections make him crazy. He just wants to be at home for a while. He needs peace, love and care. "This is the missing love why he can't like himself either - says the psychiatrist - in extreme cases it can lead to anorexia or bulimia."
That how serious it is is known by only Bill. Unfortunately the 3-week-long holiday isn't enough long for relaxing because the stress will continue in 2009. The new album isn't in the stores yet, they have adjourned its publishing again but maybe in March it can be bought. Then the band will start a big tour around the world. The question is that how Bill will do it physically and spiritually."

"NEW TATTOO, NEW ALBUM, NEW TOUR"

Tokio Hotel won't be bored in 2009 either. Their new album will be published at the end of March, they do small works on it in the studio. "It will be the most personal, every moments are ours!" - said Bill (19). The tour's dates will be published at the beginning of the year on their website (www.tokiohotel.de). They plan 60 gigs around Europe until April then in autumn in America. Maybe in a time Bill will show his new tattoo on the stage. On his body on the left side it is written with big letters: "We never stop screaming, we return to the origin!" It is strange, isn't it?"

"BILL"

The 50-year-old Bill wears wind-blown hairstyle, he tries to cover his wrinkles with make-up and doesn't watch in the mirror again. His motto: Forever young!"
