Peter Maffay: Rock legend with heart for children and rapid cars!

Peter Maffay, the 74-year-old rock musician from Romania, is an institution in Germany. At the age of 55, stage career and 20 albums that reached the charts, he not only inspired many people musically, but also personally. On his current farewell tour "We Love Rock’n’Roll", he recently played an impressive concert in the Berlin Waldbühne, which was visited despite the bad weather of 21,000 fans. The first of the two sold -out concerts attracted a total of over 42,000 people.

At this special event, Maffay solemnly drove on a Harley Davidson on the stage, which underlines his passion for motorcycles. Maffay is not only a musician, but also an enthusiastic motorcyclist who privately drives a Harley-Davidson Softail, who was given to him for his 30th anniversary. He also has another Harley, which was allegedly bought by his ex-wife Tania as part of a bet. This preference for motorcycles is reflected in his lifestyle, while after concerts he often enjoys freedom on two wheels.

lifestyle and commitment

In addition to his motorcycles, Maffay's car passion cannot be denied. He drives a VW Golf R 4Motion with 310 hp, which he personally picked up in Wolfsburg. In addition to a Porsche 964 and a VW sedan, a collection of classic car tractors is also one of its owners. Maffay prefers to travel with his family in a VW bus, which shows that simple accommodations prefer the luxury of hotels.

With his Peter Maffay Foundation, he has been committed to children for years, emphasizing how important it is to educate them early on environmental and climate protection at an early stage. This initiative receives support from the VW Workers' Foundation, with which Maffay has been working since 2015. His environmental awareness also showed when he recently appeared by bike for a press date in Mallorca, which is an interesting type of transportation for him.
