Marius M�ller-Westernhagen is a German actor and musician. Possibly best known for the maudlin hit "Johnny Walker", Marius M�ller-Westernhagen has been a feature in German rock music since the mid-1970s. Marius is known for his energetic public concerts, and his fans know his anthem-like songs by heart. While keeping away from the merely fashionable, Marius has nevertheless managed to reinvent himself every few years, and is popular with multiple generations of Germans. As a result of his singing which almost exclusively in German language in a country where pop and rock are primarily performed in English, Westernhagen originally seemed destined for obscurity, but has managed to use this to his advantage, defining himself as a durable alternative to the perceivably manufactured English-language hits of America and the UK. Westernhagen remains little known outside the German-speaking countries. M�ller-Westernhagen has also acted in films and in radio. 

December 6th, 1948 in Düsseldorf (Age 75)
