Not really L-H/Gaffa mainstream stuff, but since it *was* in a Vickie's
Playlist...

Whatever *did* become of Nena, anyway?  She & the band were the prototypical
one-hit wonder of 1984 (?) or so, at least in the U.S., and were never
heard from again.  Rumours of Nena (Koerner's) death have made the
rounds ever since, and I have heard & seen posted various causes
including (1) drowning, (2) sailboat accident, (3) auto accident, and
(4) AIDS.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
