Just thought I would bump this... He has infact now passed away.

Very Sad.


RIP Good Captain!


No one can deny he made some incredibly fun songs!

._____. Since he's in a coma, I hope and pray that he gets better. If he doesn't, RIP. I'll never forget... "Heyo, Captain Jack!"

Those memories, i loved his tracks back in the days, with his naughty clips who where way too sexy for a 9/10 year old

I am really sorry! He was one of the beginners of German techno/pop !
