Golden Earring - dutch band - Quits
« on: February 10, 2021, 2008 UTC »
The Dutch group Golden Earring is calling it quits.
Is with co-founder and guitarist George Kooymans (72)
the muscle disease ALS.
"We would have preferred a farewell tour, but
unfortunately this is what it is, "said singer Barry Hay.
"Our last performance appears to have been in Ahoy in 2019.
A great show, but we would have preferred it differently. "
Replacing Kooymans is not an option.
"We are a group of friends of four men who are irreplaceable,"
  says drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk
Make your dream a reality...

                        Have another dream and do it again!

                 Sweet dreams!!!

I first heard them on Radio Nederland.... It's when Radar Love was a hit over there.

Always enjoyed their first few albums. Sad to hear Kooymans (the guitarist) has ALS. Man.
An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).

Very sad to hear, they still play Radar Love here in the States on classic radio stations.
