— Christian Smukal (Droneburg Festival/Records) verstorben — 8. Juli 2022

Die Band MOOR hat bekanntgegeben, dass Christian Smukal verstorben ist. Smukal war in der Hamburger Szene nicht nur als Mitglied von Moor, sondern insbesondere als Begründer des Droneburg Festival sowie von Droneburg Records bekannt. — «dear friends, — our best friend and band member Christian passed away today. Many knew him as the head of the Droneburg Festival, as someone who always wanted the best for all of us, someone who had a big heart, the rock in Hamburg‹s music scene. unfortunately he lost the fight against cancer, but his soul is now in a better place. without pain and fear he said goodbye to all of us who were there in his last days, hugs you all like the bear he was. rest in peace Smu, everything is physics like he said and you are and will remain a beautiful part of us, we will see each other again. we love you brother #fuckcancer»

Erst am 25. Juni hatte sich Smukal nochmals vom Krankenbett im Helenenstift Hamburg aus auf Facebook zu Wort gemeldet und seinen nahen Tod thematisiert:

«it‹s time for the last Road. Droneburg Festival and record will closed for ever.
