ESC veteran Peter Urban had to cancel his appearance on Stefan Raab's RTL show "Chefsache ESC 2025 - Live from Basel" on Saturday at short notice due to an accident.

Laura Urban, wife of Peter Urban, told RTL, "that Peter unfortunately fell over the weekend due to his disability from a missing hip joint and therefore could not travel to Basel because of the painful consequences. It pains him deeply not to be able to be there - even after more than 25 years as a TV commentator, the ESC has not lost its magic for him."

ESC Expert Peter Urban in Action 25 Times at Song Contest

From 1997 to 2023, Urban was the commentary voice of the Eurovision Song Contest in Germany: 25 times the 77-year-old from Hamburg explained the ESC entertainment shows for the German audience, most recently at the ESC in Liverpool. This year, Stefan Raab has once again declared the search for the German ESC act as a top priority after many years. As the winner of the preliminary shows, the Austrian music duo Abor & Tynna will represent Germany. The final is on Saturday in Basel, Switzerland.
