Peter Alexander's heir: tragic loss story of a hit star

Pörtschach am Wörthersee, Österreich - Peter Alexander, the legendary pop star, who died on February 12, 2011 at the age of 84, was a man whose life was shaped by profound losses. His first big loss was the death of his wife Hilde in 2003, who died in a long fight against cancer. Hilde was not only his partner, but also his manager and mother of her two children, Susanne and Michael. After her death, Peter Alexander felt weak and drawn by grief

.

six years after the loss of his wife, he experienced another devastating stroke of fate. In 2009 his daughter Susanne died in a tragic car accident on Koh Samui, Thailand. This loss broke Peter Alexander and made it rabies. Friends reported that after these tragic events he increasingly retired and hardly left the house. His grief took the joy of life, and he often expressed the desire to die

a life full of loss

The grief for the lost relatives made Peter Alexander's life appear wrapped in the dark. He had been married to Hilde for 50 years and had maintained an intimate relationship with his daughter Susanne. The family broke apart after his own death. Eight years later, in 2019, his son Michael Neumayer died in Turkey on a blood clot

.

Michael Neumayer, who had two children, Marlen "Lena" and Philip, left another hole in the family structure that was already torn. Marlen, who was closely connected to her grandfather, tragically died of an insidious illness at the age of 34. Most recently, she lived in the property of her grandfather in Pörtschach on Lake Wörthersee, Carinthia, and was known for her special band about Peter Alexander as well as for her dinner and conversations. Erika Swatosch, a long -time companion of Peter Alexander, expressed her grief about the loss of Marlen, but did not want to make any further comments

a lonely inheritance

Philip, who is now the only descendant of the Alexander clan, is the last member of the family that can compete with the legacy. He also lives withdrawn and prefers not to use the awareness of his grandfather for his own purposes. Instead, he is actively involved in his grandfather's foundation, making him try to keep his family's memory. This tragic picture of the Alexander family, shaped by loss and grief, throws a shadow on the legacy of a man who lived for his music and fans for life and his fans

.

The life of Peter Alexander was inseparable from love, loss and infinite grief. The stories of his close people show how fragile can be and how profound grief can have a family context. Despite the success and the memories he left, the shadow of the loss remains noticeable for the coming generations of his family. Today, Philip remains the last inheritance to keep the memory of the work of his grandfather alive and to cope with the challenges of a tragic family history.
