He composed numerous well-known songs such as “Over Seven Bridges” or “King of the World”. Now Ed Swillms from the East Berlin rock band “Karat” has died.
The former keyboardist and co-founder of the East Berlin rock band Karat, Ed Swillms, has died at the age of 76. This was announced by management on the band’s Facebook page.
A management employee confirmed the death. Accordingly, the musician died on June 27th. He was buried on Monday with close family circles. The cause of death is unknown to management.
Ulrich “Ed” Swillms, born in Berlin in 1947, co-founded “Karat” in 1975. He composed numerous songs, including “Over Seven Bridges” or “King of the World”. In 1987 he left “Karat” – but he remained connected to his band even after that, the management said. “Our thoughts are with Ed’s family and friends. And while it’s small consolation to his loved ones, his songs will live on in us forever.” (dpa)
