WOLF MAAHN – Longer concert break due to his Long Covid illness!
February 23, 2026
smago! sincerely wishes Wolf Maahn a speedy recovery and hopes he can return to the stage soon!
WOLF MAAHN has spoken out on his Facebook page.
Previously, on February 12, 2026, his record label
libero rec had already left a message for his fans:
“After Wolf saw his doctor yesterday, we discussed what lessons he should draw from his circulatory collapse in Bochum. In short: Wolf would like to take a longer recovery period, and therefore there will be no rescheduled date for Bochum. Tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase. In addition, the shows in Affalter and Nuremberg will be canceled. Wolf will also speak out personally.”
He did so on February 20, 2026. He writes:
“A thousand thanks to everyone for the well wishes, encouragement, and motivational messages! They’re slowly starting to work! ; ) But the fact that my concert at the Zeche Bochum recently had to be canceled due to circulatory collapse has given me a lot to think about. I am truly sorry for the people who traveled there in vain — some of them several hundred kilometers… That’s not acceptable!
It is becoming unmistakably clear: I need a longer recovery period, and it is also sensible to skip the scheduled concerts in Affalter and Nuremberg. I actually thought I was slowly over the worst of it, but Long COVID or Post-COVID (whatever the approximate diagnosis may be) remains a major mystery, with new findings emerging weekly in the medical community. No one knows for sure — not even how long it will last… I believe I have a pretty good team of conventional and alternative medical practitioners. One of them said after Bochum that elevated adrenaline levels at live concerts may ‘possibly’ cause an overreaction of the body in cases of Long Covid, leading to blood pressure fluctuations. Ah well, whatever…
This year, the priority is to ensure that I am truly fully fit before stepping onto a stage again.
See you soon
Wolf”
P.S.: Wolf Maahn will celebrate his 71st birthday on March 25, 2026.
