K3 cancels performance: Hanne Verbruggen starts maternity leave early

K3 member Hanne Verbruggen has started her maternity leave earlier than planned, leading to the cancellation of an upcoming performance in Apeldoorn. Former member Klaasje Meijer will return to the group temporarily to replace Verbruggen during her absence.

Hanne Verbruggen of the music group K3 has announced that she is starting her maternity leave earlier than originally planned. The group confirmed that while she is in good health, performing energetic shows is no longer a responsible choice given her pregnancy. Consequently, a scheduled appearance in Apeldoorn has been canceled, with Kabouter Plop stepping in as a replacement for the event. Verbruggen expressed her regret over disappointing fans but emphasized that prioritizing the health of her unborn child is necessary.

Despite this change, the other K3 performances will proceed as scheduled. Former member Klaasje Meijer is returning to the group to fill in for Verbruggen starting this Friday. Meijer will join current members Julia Boschman and Marthe De Pillecyn for the upcoming shows. This is not the first time Meijer has assisted the group in this capacity, as she previously filled in for De Pillecyn during a similar situation last summer.
