PremiumGolden Earring legend George Kooymans (77) died: ‘It has all been fantastic’

A few years ago, Golden Earring guitarist George Kooymans suddenly could no longer hold his plectrum well. “I was playing Bas and couldn’t hold my plectrum anymore. I had a little accident with a ladder shortly before, then you think, it will be.” But it was the harbinger of the debilitating disease, where muscles are getting weaker. It arrived very hard. The band Golden Earring stopped immediately. He died on Wednesday at the age of 77.
