Marco Borsato is seriously at risk of prosecution for indecency with a minor, but what happens to his look-a-like? Will he continue to perform or will he also be cancelled?
Marco Borsato has been inactive for almost two years due to the abuse report made against him. Now that the Public Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute, we seem to be able to commit to this for at least another year. And then we haven’t even talked about a possible appeal. What should be done in the meantime?
1,295 euros
Marco just sits at home in silence, but his look-a-like Jos Cové also just wants bread on the table. Who still thinks about him? And how is he actually doing? The booking agency Foppers in Concert provides an answer.
The fake Borsato can still be booked. If you want it for half an hour, you have to pay 1,295 euros and that is without VAT. Not bad, but who would dig deep into their pockets to acquire a copy of such a controversial singer?
Couple of requests
Writer Stefan Tetelepta asks on social media X attention to the situation of this artist. “Do you realize that this man has not had any performances for two years?”
That is not entirely correct, says Foppers in Concert. “The performances have indeed decreased due to everything going on around the ‘real’ one. But little by little, requests are still coming in. So here’s another little promotion, and hope for better times for both.”
Student parties
Stefan finds it special that there are still people who want the fake Marco. “What kind of occasions does the Borsato look-alike perform?”
The office: “Very different occasions. Birthday, wedding, student party, etc..”
More than the real thing
Stefan: “I understand that the songs are still liked to be heard. But we can say that the look-alike occurs more often than the real one. 😅”
Foppers: “He doesn’t perform much, but probably more than the real one.”
