The Controversial Accident and Trial of Marco: A Tragic Story Unveiled in ‘Dear Singers’

In 1997, Marco ran over a 38-year-old woman in the parking garage of the Amsterdam ArenA, who died from her injuries. Marco stated at the time that something was wrong with the cruise control of his car. During the trial it turned out that he had alcohol in his blood. He was given community service and a driving ban for one year.

Cees Gerrits, a friend of the victim’s family, says that the family is upset that Marco never admitted that he drank too much. “The family has also had a lot of difficulty with the fact that the truth was never told. However, I have always said: ‘Marco did not get into the car to kill someone. It was terrible for him too.’ But that does not alter the fact that a father with two children was left behind.”

In the Dear Singers Marco briefly tells about the fatal accident, but according to Cees that is not the intention. “Things also happened after the accident that I cannot appreciate. We drew up a contract with Marco, which literally stated that he would never return to the business. According to the rules of the contract, Marco is not allowed to to talk about the accident, but that’s what he does.”

Also other candidates from Dear Singers make an impression with serious events from their lives. One of them is singer Numidia.
