André Hazes jr. suspends performances due to vocal health risks
Dutch singer André Hazes jr. has suspended all singing performances to prevent permanent damage to his voice. Following advice from doctors, speech therapists, and vocal coaches, the 32-year-old singer acknowledged that he has used his voice incorrectly for an extended period.
Recent performances showed signs of strain, including difficulty hitting notes. While Hazes will step away from the microphone to recover, he plans to continue working on his reality series and other television projects. He reassured fans that this is not a permanent retirement.
The cancellation of scheduled performances carries significant financial implications. Estimates suggest that canceling eight regular performances through November could cost the singer approximately 150,000 euros. Furthermore, the potential cancellation of his major concert, ‘De Avond Van Je Leven’, at AFAS Live could result in additional losses of up to 150,000 euros in a single night.
