She has been hosting The Helene Fischer Show annually since 2011, which features musical, dance, and acrobatic numbers by Fischer, as well as star studded guest performances which have previously included James Blunt, Tom Jones, and Luis Fonsi.

This year, legendary vocalist, Engelbert Humperdinck was invited to perform his iconic hit, “Release Me” as a duet with Fischer, as well as his introspective new single, “Don’t Let the Old Man In” from his EP, “Reflections”.

Engelbert’s touching performance of “Don’t Let the Old Man In”, which starts at 2:46:32, highlights his velvet vocals and charming stage presence. He is then joined by Fischer for a duet of his hit, “Release Me”, where he humorously remarks that he can’t believe the song is 53 years old before seamlessly jumping into the memorable chorus with Fischer.
