André Hazes considered drinking again due to vocal problems: 'Far gone'
André Hazes has announced that he must pause his singing career due to persistent vocal problems that prevent him from performing. The singer admitted that the stress of the situation led him to briefly consider using alcohol as a coping mechanism, a thought he quickly recognized as a dangerous sign of his deteriorating health.
Dutch singer André Hazes has addressed his recent decision to step away from performing due to ongoing vocal health issues. The 32-year-old artist revealed in his reality show that he is currently unable to sing or participate in upcoming concerts, such as the Holland Zingt Hazes event in March, after his body effectively forced a career break. Hazes admitted that he struggled with intense anxiety and stress while trying to maintain his vocal performance, often pushing himself too hard to hit notes, which caused significant damage over time.
The pressure became so immense that Hazes, who has previously struggled with addiction, considered returning to alcohol consumption to manage the stress of performing. He contemplated whether he could drink exclusively for his stage appearances while remaining sober in his private life. However, the singer quickly recognized that this thought process was a dangerous sign, ultimately choosing to prioritize his health over his career. Hazes expressed both relief and frustration at the situation, noting that while he still feels he has much more quality to offer, he must listen to his body's limitations.
