Tokio Hotel celebrated becoming the first ever German band to win an MTV Video Music Award on Sunday night fittingly, with a wild after party. Georg (21), Gustav (20) and twins Bill and Tom, who have just turned 19, talked to BILD from Los Angeles and shared all the details of the night.
Bill accepted the band’s 'moonman' trophy for 'Best Newcomer' in front of millions of TV viewers, thanking his fans in flawless English: “We want to thank our fans all over the world today.”
He later told BILD: “When we first got the award we were in complete shock. And then Tom drank us under the table until 5am.” The boys went to a private party thrown by the Interscope Universal record label in Santa Monica.
Tom: “We just wanted to really party! Just like superstars like Britney, Christina Aguilera, Pink or Kid Rock.”
Vodka with Red Bull was Tokio Hotel’s drink of the night, along with a couple glasses of celebratory champagne – and, they admitted, some water to keep them going.
“It was a cool party,” said Tom. “And the girls here are awesome. They kept screaming every time we appeared.”
The boys finally called it a night when the sun came up, going to sleep at the four-star Casa del Mar Hotel.
Tokio Hotel will appear on a US talk show and then return to Germany to start recording their third album. There is no doubt that their German and American fans can't wait for its release.
