Life
Vering was born in Münster and grew up in Vechta.[1] He performed spirituals, gospels and songs by Duke Ellington in jazz clubs, in youth centres and at Kirchentag conventions. In 1983, he took part in a project about Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" ("Ich habe einen Traum") by writer Christian A. Schwarz and composer Siegfried Fietz.[1] He often performed with the pianist Johannes Nitsch and the guitarist Werner Hucks.[2]
Vering appeared as a singer for 18 years, performing more than 2500 concerts in Europe. In 1989, he began to work as a journalist for the Westfälische Rundschau in Siegen. He turned to a position as dramaturge at the new Apollo-Theater in 2007, retiring 10 years later.[1]
Vering died in a nursing home in Wilnsdorf on the night of 1 January 2021.[3]
