Gerard has been in hospital for a few days with pneumonia, so he had to miss the press moment of De Toppers. According to the singer, the inflammation started with an annoying cough and he has been suffering from his lung for two weeks. It turned out not to be a pulmonary embolism. “I got the flu ten days ago, not corona. And that’s where the pneumonia came in. The pain is caused by the fluid behind a lung.”

Today the singer says that he is ‘waiting for what is to come’. “It’s going to be very exciting days for me. Tomorrow afternoon [donderdagmiddag], I was told, they are going to put a drain in through my back. He has to get the fluid out of my lung. If that doesn’t work, I will even have to have surgery on Friday.
Gerard is shocked. “It’s intense and spicy,” he says. The singer keeps hope for a good outcome and health. He is convinced that everything will be fine. “I keep thinking positive, but the pain is just not normal.”
