The AvroTros will simply broadcast Waylon’s performance in the TV registration of Muziekfeest op het Plein, despite the fact that he was booed and pelted with beer during the recordings.
Waylon’s image has been badly damaged because of the news that he cheated on his pregnant lover Bibi Breijman at the time. Although she has forgiven him in record time, the general public is a little less forgiving. He was harassed on Monday during the recordings of Muziekfeest op het Plein.
Waylon booed
Waylon performed with Jan Smit during the AvroTros square party. When he walked onto the stage, he couldn’t exactly count on a warm welcome. The crowd booed him and he was pelted with beer.
Very painful for Waylon, says Weekend boss Bart Ettekoven. He says in Shownieuws: “Something strange happened then, because you heard a lot of boos in the audience, a lot of booing actually and several beers went to the stage. Waylon basically ignored it, acted like nothing was wrong and didn’t notice.”
Not from stage
Some performers walk right off the stage as soon as they are pelted with beer, but Waylon just stood there. “What do you want? The cameras are on you and you know you’re being filmed.”
Waylon had no choice, according to Bart. “It is also a disappointment to say: ‘Can we stop for a while?’ in front of such a full square. You hope that a lot of people don’t see it. A lot of people are further away.”
AvroTros responds
AvroTros will simply broadcast the images. “We immediately contacted the TROS of course: what was going on there and are you going to broadcast this as well? That is what they intend to do.”
“They say: ‘We find it really annoying, because we had a fantastic evening with all kinds of great artists and a very good atmosphere.’ They say, ‘This is a very small blemish on this fantastic evening.’”
