People: De Jong attacks alk strikers like “Glasses in the morning”

Heino sings “a glass in the morning”, Vincent Gross and Olaf the Flipper my “Drinking Wine, Feeling Finе”: The singer Eloy de Jong (52) finds alcohol -cropping hits problematic. “You shouldn’t take songs too seriously, but alcohol is not just fun,” said the former boy group star (Caight in the act) to the news portal “Web.de”.

As a child, he had experienced the dark sides that his father was alcoholic. “In my youth I had to find out what alcohol can do with people.”

De Jong, however, emphasizes that he does not want to be a spoiler: “I understand that people enjoy songs like the duet of Vincent and Olaf. And I also think it’s great for them.” He congratulated the Swiss Grand (“Ouzo”, “Aperol Spritz”) via WhatsApp, said the Dutch in the “Web.de” interview.

May music to consume alcohol, as Heino’s song does (quote: “A little glass, a glass in the morning/sells everyone worries and is really good for me (…) Yes, I would like to have that every day”)?

De Jong says: “I think you have to differentiate. There are songs that convey joy and holiday feelings.” Greek wine “by Udo Jürgens is such a song for me. But I also know the other side of alcohol.”

The new album by Eloy de Jong will be released on May 9th. It has the title “stronger”.

De JOMS explains: “A proverb is:” What does not kill you only make you stronger! “And so it is. In life you always have two options – either you have a victim or you try to pull something positive out of negative experiences.”

He learned something from his father’s illness: “I don’t mean that I don’t drink alcohol today. It became clear to me early on that I don’t want to live the way my father did at the time. It is important to me not to be dependent on a drug.”
