Heintje expresses deep concern over his troubling hearing issues.
Heintje, the beloved Dutch-German pop singer who shot to fame as a child star in the late 1960s, has shared his thoughts on his current health and future plans. The 69-year-old singer, born Hein Simons, revealed that his hearing is a significant concern, with 70% in his left ear and 30% in his right.
Recently, Heintje underwent a procedure to remove skin cancer. Despite these challenges, he remains resilient, expressing his desire to live and take life as it comes, regardless of illnesses or other circumstances.
Heintje has had to cancel all his performances due to his hearing issues, but he remains hopeful about his future. He wants to continue making his own decisions and doing many things himself even in old age. However, he acknowledged that if his hearing doesn't improve, he may have to retire from singing.
Retirement, Heintje said, would be very painful for him as being a musician is his dream job. Yet, he is prepared to accept it if it's out of his control. His 70th birthday celebration will be a low-key affair, with his children, grandchildren, and a few friends over coffee.
Heintje divorced in 2014 and, when asked about a possible new relationship, he responded, "We'll see what happens. After all, even autumn has beautiful days."
Heintje is currently taking blood thinners due to a previous lung embolism. If his ability to make decisions and do things for himself is compromised, Heintje would be willing to accept death at the age of 99.
Despite the setbacks, Heintje's spirit remains undeterred. He wants to live for a hundred years if possible. For the most accurate and updated details about Heintje's career status, health issues, and future plans, checking his official channels or recent reputable news sources is recommended.
