Falco Honoured With Austrian Street Name

The Rock Me Amadeus singer, real name Johann Hoelzel, was only 40 years old when he died in a car crash in the Dominican Republic in 1998.

He was one of the few Austrian artists to find success on the international music charts - his 1986 song and others, including Vienna Calling and Jeanny, were hits around the globe.

Falcogasse (Falco Lane), will be inaugurated on 5 June (09) near where the singer's mother once live in Donaustadt - an outer district of the Austrian capital.
