Incident prevents Eurovision favorite’s rehearsals. Performance in the final is in question – Current Affairs

For now, it is not yet known whether Klein will perform in the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday, as the incident reportedly occurred during a press conference.

The EBU said in a statement: “We are currently investigating an incident reported to us involving the Dutch artist. He will not be rehearsing until further notice. We have no further comment at this time and will update you in due course.”

Klein was part of the flag parade at the beginning of the rehearsal and walked around the stage in full costume, but did not enter the stage for his performance, about 30 minutes later.

Klein attended Thursday night’s press conference, which brought together the 10 artists from the second semi-final selected for the final, including Israel and the Netherlands, and it was here that the incident occurred.

Around 26 countries, including the British Olly Alexander, 33, with his song Dizzy, and the Irish Bambie Thug, 31, with the song Doomsday Blue, will compete for the coveted Eurovision trophy on Saturday, where Klein, according to Spotify, it was the big favorite.
