Andre Hazes RIP — 5 years later

Yes folks, tomorrow it will be five years since volkszanger Andre Hazes went to the big sausage factory in the sky. In tribute, TNT-Post is coming out with a series of stamps dedicated to him. I was at the ArenA stadium for his funeral and witnessed 50,000 people cry at the same time. Who knew the Dutch could go for non-football related mass hysteria? (Actually now we definitely know; it was just then we didn’t.) Here’s the obituary I wrote at the time.
