Nena breaks her wrist in a fall and cancels concerts

The incident has immediate consequences for the artist's planned concert tour. The performance at the Würth Open Air, an open-air event in Baden-Württemberg, was scheduled for the 26th and has been cancelled. The concert in Hannover on the 28th has also been called off.

The musician, who gained international fame with songs such as „99 Luftballons" and „Nur geträumt", had planned the stops of her tour over the coming days. Whether and when the cancelled dates can be rescheduled remained unclear at first.

Background: Nena's ongoing tour

The singer did not provide further details about the exact circumstances of the accident or the location of the fall in her social media post. It is only known that she lost her footing on wet ground and fell onto her wrist.

The news spread quickly through social media and was picked up by Austrian media such as OE24. In comments, fans of the artist expressed their wishes for her recovery and reacted with regret to the concert cancellations.

A wrist fracture is a common injury in falls, as those affected instinctively try to break their fall with their hands. Surgical treatment may require the insertion of plates or screws, depending on the type of fracture. The duration of recovery depends on the healing process.

Open questions about rescheduled dates

Nena's management did not initially comment on possible rescheduled dates. Fans who had purchased tickets for the affected concerts must wait for official information from the organiser. In such cases, organisers typically offer exchanges or refunds.

The pop singer has counted among the defining voices of German music history for decades. With „99 Luftballons", she also gained international fame in 1983. Her tour plans for the summer of 2026 have now been interrupted by the accident.

For the coming days, Nena announced that she would first recover after the operation. When she will return to the stage remained unclear at the time of publication.
