Eurovision organization investigates ‘incident’ Joost Klein, artist does not rehearse | Eurovision Song Contest

“We are currently investigating an incident surrounding the Dutch entry. Klein will not rehearse for the time being,” the statement said. The EBU will not comment further.

Klein simply participated in the flag parade at the start of the show. His belongings were also initially carried onto the stage, but were abruptly removed and replaced with Israel’s bow.

It is unclear whether Klein will be allowed to rehearse at a later date. No announcements are made in the audience about Klein’s absence. The musician himself has removed all Eurovision-related posts from his Instagram Stories.

AVROTROS, the broadcaster that accompanies Klein during the Eurovision Song Contest, was not available for comment.
