For a long time he was considered one of the most successful artists in Germany, but then Xavier Naidoo maneuvered himself offside with controversial statements. During the corona pandemic, the musician’s anti-Semitic and conspiracy ideological statements became louder and louder. RTL even threw him out of the “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” jury. Later he was remorseful, but since then things have been quiet about the 51-year-old.
Now Xavier Naidoo is causing a stir again: he is said to have caused a traffic accident in Austria near the Czech border. As reported by several local media, including the “Kronen Zeitung” and “heute.at”, the musician lost control of his car last Saturday, July 22, in the Upper Austrian Mühlviertel. His powerful Porsche got onto the sidewalk and hit a pedestrian there.
Xavier Naidoo: sneezing attack as trigger for car accident?
The man was thrown against the windshield of the sports car and then onto an adjacent field. It is not known how badly he was injured, but according to the police report he was able to leave the hospital on the same day. Xavier Naidoo is said to have given the local police a violent sneezing attack as the cause of the accident, which caused him to lose control of his vehicle. An alcohol test was negative.
The cause of the accident is now being investigated on suspicion of negligent bodily harm. When asked by the media, the responsible police did not want to confirm that it was the German singer, with reference to the confidentiality obligation of personal data.
