René Froger’s management expects to say within two weeks whether the singer will perform with Dutch group De Toppers in 2027. Manager Benno de Leeuw told the ANP news agency that there were no new developments to report about Froger’s illness. [1]
Froger, 65, announced in September that he had been diagnosed with myositis, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the muscles. He said he needed to rest and has cancelled his own anniversary concert, scheduled for December 2026. The illness is not life-threatening, according to the report. [1]
The next Toppers in Concert series is scheduled for May 2027. The group’s line-up is also in flux: Gerard Joling announced on Tuesday that he was leaving, while fellow member Jeroen van der Boom said he had learnt the news through the media. [1]
