That's how Chris de Burgh wants to heal the ill Babbel

With salt crystal lamps and healing hands

Chris de Burgh, the Irish pop bard. Does he really have healing hands?
The tz (newspaper) brought him to his very ill friend Markus Babbel. The
ex Bayern star lies in the Harlaching hospital with a disease of his
nerves. De Burgh wants to heal him with "positive energy".

Markus Babbel looked quite surprised about his visitor, who - through
connections of the tz - suddenly entered his single room in the city
hospital of Harlaching. Suddenly Chris de Burgh stood in the door:
"Hello old fellow - what are you doing in here?", the Irish singer
welcomed the surprised Liverpool soccer star.

"It's alright", said Babbel - and grinned all over his face. He was
truly happy that his old friend, a hardcore Liverpoool fan, looked after
him before a concert in Munich. "In a few days I'll be out of here",
told Markus.
