14 DAY TRIAL // David Hasselhoff’s music career might not be that spectacular, but he’s the only artist who can boast of having a song become an anthem for freedom in Germany. He’s now lending his voice to another amazing cause.
Developers are now trying to tear down a surviving section of the Berlin Wall known as East Side Gallery, which is both an outdoor art gallery and a tribute to all those who died trying to climb it.
Hasselhoff was in Berlin over the weekend, singing the same song he sang in 1989, as the Berlin Wall came down: “Looking for Freedom.”
This time, though, he sang from the back of a moving truck, with no other musical accompaniment but the voices of thousands of Berliners who had come out to protest against the new project.
Check it out in the video above.
Sky News has video of The Hoff’s interviews with the press after the impromptu performance.
