EMOTIONAL REVELATION: Liz Mitchell Honors Bobby Farrell’s Spirit Through the Music That Never Died
For Liz Mitchell, the unmistakable voice of Boney M., music has always been more than melody — it’s memory, connection, and the echo of lives intertwined through rhythm and time. Recently, she shared a deeply moving and mysterious experience that has touched the hearts of fans worldwide: a dream visit from her late bandmate Bobby Farrell, whose vibrant energy and unforgettable stage presence helped define the sound of a generation.
In a recent conversation, Liz revealed that the dream felt astonishingly real — not a fleeting image, but a meeting filled with peace and purpose. “He looked happy, full of energy,” she said softly, recalling the vision. “And he said, ‘Liz, don’t let the music die. Finish what we started.’” Those words, simple yet powerful, have stayed with her ever since, stirring emotions she hadn’t felt in years.
When Bobby Farrell passed away in 2010, it marked the end of an era for millions of fans who grew up dancing to “Rasputin,” “Daddy Cool,” “Sunny,” and “Rivers of Babylon.” His charisma, humor, and boundless movement gave life to the group’s performances, turning every stage into a celebration. Yet behind the glitter and groove, Boney M. was always more than a disco band — it was a creative family, one bound by shared dreams and mutual respect.
Liz Mitchell, often regarded as the soul of Boney M., carried that torch forward with quiet strength. But this dream, she admits, awakened something different — a feeling that Bobby’s spirit still has work to do through her. “It was as if he was reminding me that our work — our sound — still has life,” she explained. “It wasn’t about sadness. It was about continuation — about letting that rhythm live again.”
Since that night, Liz has found herself returning to old recordings, unfinished notes, and fragments of ideas that she and Bobby once discussed but never completed. Some of those melodies, she says, now feel alive again, as though guided by unseen hands. With deep reverence, she has begun planning to revisit and possibly record these ideas — not as a commercial comeback, but as a tribute, a promise kept to a friend whose voice still dances in her memories.
For fans who have followed Boney M. across decades, the thought of new life being breathed into their classic sound is nothing short of thrilling. But for Liz, it’s something far more personal. It’s about healing, honoring the past, and acknowledging that art — once born — never truly dies.
“Music has a soul,” Liz said. “And sometimes, I believe it speaks to us in ways beyond this world. When I heard Bobby’s words in that dream, I felt peace. I knew he was telling me to keep going.”
Through this vision, Liz Mitchell has found renewed purpose — not only to preserve the legacy of Boney M., but to remind the world that even in loss, creation endures. The voices, the laughter, the harmonies of the past still echo, waiting to be heard once more. And as Liz prepares to revisit those long-resting songs, one thing is certain: the rhythm will live on — just as Bobby Farrell wished.
