Dries Roelvink counts on Rachel Hazes blacklisting him after his criticism in Shownieuws. Yet he is not sorry. “Because you always have to stay honest about what you think and feel.”
There are more and more artists who dare to speak critically about Rachel Hazes, the controversial mother of André Hazes Jr. Dries Roelvink also made himself heard last Christmas. The folk singer said that he thinks it is shameful that Rachel sent the announcement of her summation on Christmas Eve to André. “Andreetje, persevere!”
Misgive
Why does Dries think that many artists like Jeroen van der Boom don’t dare to open their mouths about Rachel? ‘I have known Rachel for more than 40 years before she was with that old Hazes. I performed a lot for her father, Jan van Galen. What happened in that family, you can write a book about it, “he says in the Weekend.
“I think it’s a very bad and wrong time to sue your child on Christmas Eve, the evening of love. I’m just honest about that. I think a lot of people agree with me. Who thinks that normal? ”
Strange region
Nobody thinks Rachel’s behavior normal and therefore not Jeroen, says Dries, by the way without mentioning the name of his colleague. “The whole of the Netherlands thinks that is a nasty region? It is hard to say: ‘Well, I understand that from Rachel. She said that nicely. ” Of course not. ”
Does Dries expect him to ever perform at Holland Zingt Hazes? “I think I have closed the door with my comment for Holland sings Hazes. If you had asked me last year, I would have said yes-because I also have Hazes-Medleys with my performances. ”
“Falls against me”
Dries thinks he is blacklisted by Rachel. “I think Rachel now thinks: well Dries, I’ve known you for so long, that is disappointing from you. So I don’t expect that anymore. “
Does he regret? “No, because you must always stay honest about what you think and feel. It is hard to say that Rachel is right, “because then I might be allowed to do Holland once”. No. Maybe it’s not tactical, but I supported André and I keep doing that. I see him as a boyfriend. “
Compliments
Many artists make André fall a bit by silent about Rachel, but Dries can’t get that over his heart. “He awarded my English -language album a few years ago and he often sends me compliments via Instagram. Such as: ‘Gosh, you are 66, what do you look good! I draw for it! “
“He also said that he would have wanted a father like me. So I can support him once – he deserved that. “
