Rust (Baden-Württemberg) – His performance was jeopardized by the heat. But Stefan Mross (50) started his music show “Always on Sundays” on the ARD channel on Sunday at exactly 10:03. The presenter was wearing shorts and rolled up his shirt. And he was in a better mood. Before the broadcast began, he cooled off in the control room using a mini-fan. But then he stood on stage under the scorching sun.
Song of heat at 37 degrees.
Stefan Mross, as always, started the show with temperatures STILL around 37 degrees with his song “Always on Sundays” – with slightly changed lyrics including: “Hot Days, Hot Days, Germany is sweating.”
Mross then addressed the audience: “Dude, it’s Sunday morning, live from Europa-Park in Rust. And today we can really take a deep breath. We’re going to do it! And I’m not the only one. I’m just a moderator, standing here in 42 degrees. It doesn’t matter at all. There are 2,000 people sitting there and my guests. I’m not alone in the heat!”
Many spectators also protected themselves from the heat with hats. There are bottles of water and sunscreen on the table.
As soon as he heard these words, Mross began to sweat profusely, beads of sweat rolling down his face. His shirt quickly gets wet, but he pulls it on boldly – like a professional. The audience is also partially seated under the scorching sun, especially right in front of the stage. Then there are shaded areas. New measures have also been taken specifically for today’s hot weather.
Full dedication: Mross and his guests perform under the scorching sun
Water shower for spectators
Mross lists the precautions taken: “We have shade, we have umbrellas, enough water to drink. If you think you need to drink something or go to the bathroom during the show, you’re allowed to do whatever you want today! So for everyone at home, rest assured that we have everything taken care of!”
You can clearly see many canopies providing shade.
Halfway through the performance, Mross even changed into a new shirt (seen here). But even after a few minutes he was completely wet.
SWR spokesman Jürgen Ruf told BILD: “Fans and sunscreens will be distributed. There will also be an increased medical presence. There will also be water showers for the audience. To create a safe working environment for all other participants, the number of show rehearsals has been significantly reduced. Additional shade will also be provided on stage. We have deliberately planned for the reduction of rehearsals and have communicated this to all participants so that everyone can plan and protect themselves from the heat.”
