For Dutch people it is of course never fun to get sick, but there is also a certain stroke of stars that in one way or another also really like to explore the PR value to the maximum. We have been hearing Wolter Kroes talking for weeks and weeks about the meningitis that makes him hit.

Wolters Buffer

In the meantime Wolter is again completely above Jan, but he says he has missed a lot of money. “Because of the meningitis, I had to cancel twenty performances,” he says in the Story.

Can he not come to the insurer at such a moment? “I am not insured for that. They only pay out when I have been sick for a year. Fortunately I had a buffer. That is also necessary, because otherwise you are not doing well as an artist. You have to take into account the unexpected. “

Nine to ten hours

Wolter was performing at Holland Zingt Hazes this weekend, but he says it is still very tired. “I notice that I am still recovering. In the evening I am already in bed at nine and then I will certainly sleep around nine to ten o’clock. I am so tired. But there is progress in it. I also do everything for that. ”

It all takes some getting used to, he adds De Telegraaf. “Unlike before my illness, I have not been gone for the first time in years in the evening in the evening.”

Called three times

His wife is also very concerned, says Wolter. “When I was an evening away for the first time last week to join Shownieuws, Tessa called me three times on the way: how is it, will it work? Yes, it’s just getting used to for all of us. “

Then seriously: “Tessa and I had already arranged things quite well, but I checked everything and noticed that it had to be described even better. That’s why I turned my will. As far as that is possible, we leave nothing to chance anymore. Now let’s hope we don’t need it for a very long time! “
