André Hazes sees colleague Dries Roelvink as a father figure, he tells De Telegraaf on Friday. The Live singer says that he is regularly supported by his friend and colleague.
Hazes lost his own father at the age of ten and will answer on Friday whether he would have liked Roelvink as a father. “Everyone knows that quite a few things have happened in Dave’s private life. The whole of the Netherlands fell over him then. Yet Dries is the father who stands right in front of his son, but remains realistic.”
“He also just tells the outside world honestly what it is like”, Hazes continues. “I grew up without a father, but would have loved to have a father like him. He is a great guy. Again. We are out of work and then it is Dries who sends a message with an uplifting text. He then says proudly. that I turned my life around so well. I really appreciate that about him. ”
The 26-year-old singer notes that such things cannot be taken for granted. “He really is a father figure. And I also met him in the middle of the night in the heart of Amsterdam. I was completely drunk. Then he also said:” André don’t do this, it’s such a waste of your life. ” And he was right about that. ”
Hazes also sees the 61-year-old Roelvink as an example in terms of health, and tells how he now cares more about his body than before. “The corona crisis actually made the switch for me. I have stopped drinking, sometimes only a glass when we are on vacation. That makes me so good. Until over a year ago I was so bad for my body. exercising it now seems as if my body is saying: thank you for making me healthy, I help you with that. I feel so clear and fit. ”
