And suddenly he’s back: after two years of radio silence, the controversial musician Xavier Naidoo has taken a stage again.
In recent years, singer Xavier Naidoo has attracted attention primarily through highly controversial statements and oaths. When the corona pandemic turned people’s lives upside down in Germany in March 2020, the musician’s anti-Semitic and conspiracy ideological statements became increasingly louder. The unanimous opinion at the time was that Xavier Naidoo had finally drifted away. Until the surprising turnaround suddenly came in April 2022 and he rowed back. He remorsefully emphasized in the spring that he regretted his behavior.
His apology sparked debate again. Was he serious or was it purely calculated to initiate his comeback? What was seen as the first step in rehabilitation ultimately had no effect. After his apology video, the singer became quiet again.

But now Xavier Naidoo has made a surprising appearance after two years. Comedian Oliver Pocher is currently on tour with his show “Der Liebeskasper” and stopped in Saarbrücken on Saturday. There he brought the singer onto the stage. Pocher then shared recordings of this on his Instagram channel.
“The unique Xavier Naidoo is back,” says Oliver Pocher in his story. “I have to process this evening and what happened first.” Here are some shots of the two of them on stage together. Apparently the musician also performed, as can be seen from other videos on social networks. “For me, the best singer! Thank you for your trust and your performance today!” said Oliver Pocher after the joint performance. The two men have known each other for over 20 years.
If you look at social media, it becomes clear that the surprising comeback is causing divided opinions. Some users express their joy that Xavier Naidoo has returned to the public eye. Others criticize Oliver Pocher for giving the artist a platform after everything that has happened in recent years.
However, whether this visit to the stage means that Xavier Naidoo is really back remains to be seen. He himself has so far left his appearance uncommented. There has also been no sign of life on Instagram since his apology video two years ago.
