RIP George Kooymans

It would appear that this week will go down in history as a week that several well known people have left this place for the Great Beyond.

George Kooymans has sadly passed away…

He was a member of the Dutch band the Golden Earring. Most people will recognize them from their hit “Radar Love”.

He was sadly forced to leave the music business behind a few years ago due to suffering from ALS.

He will be greatly missed. Especially here in the Netherlands, as the Earring have always been one of the most famous rock bands around here.

Need to listen to Golden Earring’s version of ‘Eight miles high’ again. These guys were my teenage heroes…Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Yes, the In Memorium section of my weekly chat will be long. Very sad.
