The Kessler twins — Alice and Ellen — legendary performers who once shared the stage with icons like Frank Sinatra and Fred Astaire, have died at age 89 through medical aid at their home near Munich. According to German outlet Bild, the sisters had chosen to end their lives together, saying they “no longer wanted to live.” Born in 1936, the twins rose to fame in the 1950s and ’60s, representing West Germany in the 1959 Eurovision Song Contest, where they placed eighth and earned international attention.

They later became beloved TV personalities known for their elegance, synchronized performances, and long-lasting bond. Medical aid in dying has been legal in Germany since 2019.....
