But the program is apparently running out, so there is too little time for the item with Jan Rot in which he plays the song ‘Rotterdam’. wants to sing. Presenter Erik does not seem to know how to deliver that news and says: “Start quickly, Jan. There is a live program after us, so we are tight on time.”

Many viewers are not pleased with the way the presenter addresses his terminally ill guest. It’s raining negative reactions on Twitter. Jan’s performance does meet with a lot of praise.

Jan was operated on in May to remove a large tumor from his intestines and stomach. He has recovered well from that, but a new scan shows ‘metastases everywhere’. The news is hard on him, he wrote on social media last weekend. ‘How much time I have left will become clear on its own.’
The singer is not very bothered by it, except that he gets tired faster. He plans to continue performing as long as he can. For example, in September he will be in the theater with his show OK BOOMER. And in the meantime he tries ‘with a lot of love, peace and a bit of gallows humor to learn to accept the sledgehammer blow for my beautiful family.’
