The nineteen-year-old grandson of Eurovision Song Contest winner Lenny Kuhr has been seriously injured in the conflict between Hamas and Israel. The teenager is fighting as a soldier in the Israeli army and was shot in the stomach. The singer will travel to him on Saturday.
Kuhr’s grandson was rushed to a hospital in Tel Aviv. He had surgery there.
The shooting took place in a kibbutz in the south of the country, where nineteen-year-old Ozz had been sent with his unit. The unit came under fire from Hamas fighters. A number of Ozz’s unitmates did not survive.
The situation with Kuhr’s grandson is stable. The singer will travel to Israel on Saturday to support her two daughters and her four grandchildren. “Lenny knows what the risks are, but her motherly and grandmotherly feelings are too strong,” said Rob Frank, her husband and manager.
The singer plans to stay in Israel for two weeks. Kuhr has four grandchildren, of whom Ozz is the eldest. Her seventeen-year-old granddaughter will soon turn eighteen and will have to join the army.
Kuhr emphatically states on Instagram that he does not want a discussion about politics. I pray for light. The light that we all are and that light that may triumph in this darkness. No words please. Only a candle as a symbol of love, compassion and hope. “
Lenny Kuhr is known for hits such as The Troubadour in Visit. She won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969 together with Spain, France and the United Kingdom.
