Michael Patrick Simoner „Falco Forever“
Michael Patrick Simoner, known from radio and TV, is the only Falco performer worldwide authorized by Falco's mother - Maria Hölzel - who celebrates his performances in Falco's original clothes.
It all began in 1985, when Stefan Weber, bandleader of the group Drahdiwaberl (Viennese cult band that Falco left after years) and Michael Patrick Simoner met by chance. When Weber asked Simoner what he could do, Simoner replied: "Doing hair and interpreting Falco!" That was his contract.
He made his debut on Vienna's Danube Island with the song "Ganz Wien". Falco himself congratulated and honored his commitment and passion.
After Falco's tragic traffic accident in 1998, Michael Patrick Simoner made the decision to let the falcon live on with his tribute show. The great support and developed friendship with Falco's mother - Maria Hölzel - made it possible to give the show its own mystique.
In 2000 Paulus Manker hired him for the Falco Cyber Show and since then he is unstoppable...
From Las Vegas to Vienna, across the world, it is an honor for Michael Patrick Simoner to be on the road as the "Apostle of the Falcon"!
In this sense Falco forever!
