Jan said that he is very grateful for ‘the storm of warmth’ he received since he announced that he was ill. The singer received statements of support and letters from prominent colleagues, among other things. “I accepted it with gratitude.”
It’s your harvest
When asked whether he is satisfied with the life he has led thus far, he does not have to think twice. “My ambitions were never fame and success, but simply to make beautiful things. That’s what I’m most proud of, that I’ve been able to hold up my pants for 45 years and have produced and made an incredible amount with love,” he says. “And I think it’s all beautiful. Sure, some things are better than others, but it’s your harvest. I always enjoy that too.”
My masterpieces are my four children
Where he used to be mainly occupied with his career, his priorities now lie completely with his family. “If I’m forgotten in ten years, then I’ll be forgotten in ten years.” In the past, the artist wanted his ‘legacy’ or the ‘masterpieces’ he had created to be remembered. But now that is no longer the case. “My masterpieces are my four children, especially thanks to my wife Daan.”
