Many fellow artists are devastated by the news that René Karst has suddenly passed away at the age of 59. Show news spoke to several celebrities yesterday about his death, but one of them reacted very emotionally in front of the rolling camera, namely Wolter Kroes. Why is he crying tears on national television?

Wolter was upset

Wolter is really visibly upset. “This is not possible. This is not possible. Everything went smoothly, everything went well, he had all the success in the world and now we hear that he has died. This is really incomprehensible to me.”

He continues: “He was such an incredibly sweet man. I’m really sorry. But yes, I’m going to call his wife later and yes, strength to the family and everyone. This sucks!”

‘We were already there’

It is logical that Wolter is upset, but why did he decide to bring in a camera crew from Shownieuws and then start crying like that?

Private boss Evert Santegoeds explains: “I have to say that we were already with Wolter when the news became known that René Karst had died, so he just found out here and that is why he is so emotional. Also because of the loss of this musical friend of course.”
