Sports have their place in the life of Andreas Gabalier. "I try to be in good shape all year round," he told the German Press Agency.

Singer Andreas Gabalier (40) keeps himself fit specifically for his energy-draining stage shows. A few years ago, he set up a small "power room" at home, he told the German Press Agency. He enjoys it very much. "I need it for the concerts, I really have to say."

There is no week without sports for him. "I try to be in good shape all year round," the singer explained. There are neither fasting periods nor times when he does exponentially more. "I like to go to the mountains when time and weather allow – and when friends, brothers, and relatives have free time."

Gabalier Feels Connected to Sports Passively Too

But Gabalier also feels connected to sports passively. In football, he supports Sturm Graz. "They practically play right outside my door. If time allows, I go." But he can also get excited about ice hockey, skiing, and Formula 1.

At the shows, Tina Turner is his greatest role model. He would have loved to stand on stage with her once. "This unbridled energy, being unleashed from the chain and then delivering everything to the audience – that's my aspiration." Bryan Adams is also such a hero for him.
