Biography

Roger Cicero was born in 1970 in Berlin to Romanian jazz pianist Eugen Cicero and dancer Lili Cziczeo. He is Babette Doge's young brother [2]

Cicero represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki his song "Frauen regier'n die Welt" ("Women Rule the World"). He finished 19th.[3]

In 2014, he was one of the stars of the Vox television show "Sing meinen Song – Das Tauschkonzert" (Sing my song – the exchange concert) along with Xavier Naidoo, Sasha, Andreas Gabalier, Sandra Nasić and Gregor Meyle.[4]

In late 2014, Cicero fell ill with chronic fatigue syndrome (also called CFS or myalgic encephalomyelitis), which led to an acute case of myocarditis.[5] On 24 March 2016, he died from a stroke;[6][7][8] his father, Eugen Cicero, had also died from the same cause.[9]
