Surely many people remember the popular band Tokio Hotel, which captured almost the whole world about ten years ago. The team, consisting of young guys, performing catchy pop-rock hits, attracted with their message, youth and, of course, the extravagant image of the band's leader Bill Kaulitz.

In 2010, the band took a break and for several years "rested" from the overwhelming popularity, working in parallel on a new sound. The end of 2014 pleased the fans with a new long-awaited work - the album "Kings of Suburbia", which demonstrated a new vector of the group's development. This time the album was made in the genre of electronic dance music (EDM), which caused a mixed assessment of the fans, but also managed to attract a new audience to the work of the group. Bill Kaulitz, the band's lead singer, also changed his image and stage behavior a lot. What happened in his life in the past tense?

Bill Kaulitz: biography

Bill was born on September 1, 1989 in Leipzig, ten minutes after the birth of his twin brother Tom. The family later moved to the small village of Loitsche. Since childhood, twin brothers Bill and Tom have been involved in music anddifferent from their peers. Bill always preferred to be different from his peers, ignoring bullying and gossip. As he admitted later, it was the very experience he went through in childhood that hardened him and helped him to go through the trials of public criticism and adhere to the vector of development he had chosen.

Bill Kaulitz passed the test of fame at a young age. Everything changed quite dramatically: the talented guys were once noticed by producer Peter Hoffman, who played a significant role in the further promotion of the team. In a short time, the whole of Germany learned about the group.

Tokio Hotel: a success story

2001 was marked by the appearance of the Devilish band, which later changed its name to Tokio Hotel. Since then, the composition of the group has remained unchanged, the group experienced a real storm of popularity, which did not subside until 2009. The recognizable style of the soloist gave rise to a huge number of rumors and disputes about his sexual orientation. In part, this is what aroused the audience's interest in the group: the young age of the participants, coupled with their talent and skill, as well as the non-trivial appearance of the leader, did not leave them a chance to go unnoticed. At the moment, Bill continues to experiment with his appearance, although his style has become much more masculine than in the early years of creativity.

Tokio Hotel lead singer style evolution

Starting from a young age, Bill Kaulitz, whose photos were posted in all popularteenage magazines, was not afraid to change his appearance depending on his own desire. For a long time, black hair was his hallmark: in his youth, he preferred short hair with long, side-swept bangs, then he grew long hair, styled it in spectacular "explosive" hairstyles. A radical change of image took place in 2011. It was then that the soloist first dyed his hair in a light shade, and to this day his style remains the same: short platinum blond hair. At the beginning of his career, Bill Kaulitz preferred to complement his image with makeup, but now he practically does not use makeup on stage and when going out.

Artist's private life

How does the lead singer of Tokio Hotel live and does he have a soul mate? How does Bill Kaulitz himself comment on rumors about his sexual orientation? The artist's personal life is hidden from the public at all times. Bill himself has repeatedly expressed his own position: he is still looking for and waiting for his soul mate and believes in "excessive love", for which he will be ready to commit absolutely any act. At the moment, Bill Kaulitz is busy working on his own solo album, which promises to please fans in April 2016.
