Four guys from Magdeburg conquer the world! Now Tokio Hotel accepted an award in London that’s turning them into international superstars: the World Music Award! “I could hardly believe that we’re even nominated,” Bill declares. “However, that we also would actually win this award was really unbelievable for me!” What an experience for Bill (17), Tom (17), Gustav (18) and Georg (19)! The four of them got personally invited to London – [they] are live at the glamorous ceremony at Earls Court. There’s loads going on backstage: just now R’n’B superstar Beyoncé is on her way to perform, party it-girl Paris Hilton is tottering on high-heels through the hallways – accompanied by numerous cameras. Nelly Furtado is just getting some coffee with her band. And right in the middle [of all of this]: the guys from Tokio Hotel. There’s a sitting area in their lovely, small dressing room, fruit and beverages are available. Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg get comfortable, have pizza and donuts brought to them and joke around. Their dressing room is situated between the ones of US star Lindsay Lohan and R’n’B singer Chris Brown. Michael Jackson is getting prepared for his appearance only a few steps away. “Unfortunately he’s completely isolated. You don’t even realise he’s here,” Georg reveals. And then the moment is finally here: after a long wait Tokio Hotel finally get presented with the much longed for award for the “Most successful German Band 2006”! [It’s] a great honour for the young rockers. “We’re thrilled about it!” Tom says happily. After the show the guys admire the golden statues in their hotel rooms. “It’ll be placed next to my Bravo Otto [Award],” drummer Gustav grins. Then they’re off to bed – because they’ve got to get onto a plane to Moscow at 8am already the following morning. Tokio Hotel will be playing a sold out concert in front of 8,000 people there. Their first one in Russia. Bill gets very serious: “Even if we’re going through the roof everywhere abroad now, the German fans are the most important to us,“ he reassures. “That’s why we’re currently working flat out on the second album. We’ve already gotten very far; you won’t have to wait much longer…”
