Career Suicide - Bill Kaulitz

Bill Kaulitz became famous overnight at the age of just 15. As the face of the band Tokio Hotel, he was loved, ridiculed, parodied and hated like no other for his eccentric appearance. Fans adored his androgynous style, the press reacted with bewilderment and speculation about his sexual identity. He fled the hype surrounding his own person, which made privacy impossible and took on dangerous proportions, to Los Angeles. From there he now looks back on the first thirty years of his life in his autobiography. Growing up near Magdeburg with his twin brother Tom as his closest confidant, Bill was used to hostility and incomprehension, but did not let this deter him and consistently pursued his dream of a life away from provincial narrow-mindedness and poverty. He talks about his childhood in the middle of nowhere, the overwhelming success of his band and the people who wanted to profit from it, escapades, loneliness and the special relationship with his brother.

For all the brave and those who want to be brave. For all the troublemakers and rebels.

Nothing is more difficult than being yourself.

Have courage!
