Joost Klein at the Eurovision Song Contest flanked by a large blue bird

Joost Klein rehearsed for the first time on the Eurovision stage in Malmö, Sweden. The artist from Britsum performs a striking act with a blue bird on stage.

The press was not welcome at this first rehearsal. The organization of the festival has released some photos.

It shows that Klein is assisted on stage by Appie Mussa, who is wearing a blue bird suit. He looks just like Pino’s brother from Sesame Street. The bird has a light blue bib with the European flag around its neck and yellow rain boots. He plays a keyboard during the song.
