as well as Golden Earring, when he was diagnosed with ALS in late 2020. Still managed to finish and release new albums by those other groups, Kooymans & Carillo and Vreemde Kostgangers. I posted some of that news in the Lounge, in replies/updates, here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181674319
