He was born in Straubing (Germany) on 2 July 1936 and started a career in television and film in his twenties, as well as performing as a singer, most famously duetting with Danish singer Gitte Haenning as Gitte & Rex. During the Eighties and Nineties, Gildo's popularity decreased.[4] His appearances were mainly at folk festivals, shopping centres and other similar venues; he was also reported to have problems with alcoholism. His final performance, on the day of his suicide attempt, was in front of more than 3000 people at a furniture shop outside Frankfurt. Gildo died on 26 October 1999, aged 63, having spent three days in an artificially-induced coma after attempting suicide by jumping from the window of his apartment building.
