‘After a year and a half of no stage, no audience, no stress and no booze, there is the moment to which he has mentally lived and worked hard for the past few months. This time without stress, but with healthy tension and looking forward to the audience and the applause that he missed so much,” Monique Westenberg, the mother of Hazes’ son, said on Instagram. She says she’s “f*cking proud of this guy.” ‘Clear in the head and with a voice better than ever. Where he used to be unbearable for days and looked up to it like a madman, that has now made way for calmness, fun and enthusiasm.’
Hazes last performed for a large audience in September 2021. According to the concert hall, the singer was ‘received with loud applause’ now that he says he is making his comeback sober. He sang three songs including I Live My Own Lifeof which Ziggo Dome shared a fragment on social media (see below).
Hazes stopped performing a year and a half ago because of what he called a burnout. In the fall of 2022, he acknowledged in a message on Instagram that he had been ‘in the darkest period of my life’. He struggled with alcohol and cocaine addiction. “I have now overcome many addictions, but I will never lose the addiction to be able to sing for my fans.”
