Due to his health situation, De Nijs already said goodbye to his audience last year, with concerts in the Sportpaleis in Antwerp and the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. He scored hits in his career with, among others, “Malle Babbe”, “It became summer” and “Banger heart”.
Since the news about Rob de Nijs’s hospitalization, many people have been sharing photos of burning candles on social media as a statement of support for the singer and his family. With this action they respond to the call of Henriëtte, the wife of Rob de Nijs. She had asked to light a candle for her husband, a link to his famous song “Put a candle in front of your window”.
