AT SEA - André Hazes Jr.

World-famous music icon The most successful Belgian singer ever has been active for 60 years and says he is \"4 times 20, but never at the same time.\" After a short break, he returned last year. And how. 2025 was a busy year with a tour, an exhibition, and the new double album 'Des nèfles et des groseilles' with 25 new songs - which Adamo wrote all himself. His first new music in 8 years. Adamo was born in 1943 on the Italian island of Sicily. When he was 3 years old, he moved to our country because his father came to work in the mines (in Bergen). His biggest examples? Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour. Adamo's career broke through in 1964 when he released 3 of his best songs: 'Vous permettez, monsieur?', 'Tombe la neige', and 'Dolce Paola', an ode to Princess (now Queen) Paola. The iconic peace song 'Inch'allah' (1967) was banned in the Arab world because the Israeli army used it as a war song. 2 years earlier, there was the single 'Les filles du bord de mer' which was later successfully covered by the late Arno, with whom Adamo had a good bond. In recent years, Adamo has occasionally struggled with his health, but with his typical husky voice, he conquered the world. With more than 100 million albums and singles sold, no one in our country does better. He has performed multiple times in, among others, Latin America and Asia. Last year, Salvatore received a lifetime achievement award at the MIA's. \"To save my voice and energy, I don't sing 2 days a week anymore,\" the singer said on VRT NWS. \"For now, I remain enthusiastic, because being on stage is a privilege.\" Buy your ticket quickly and see this national icon live at work in Koksijde. *** Tickets are available online or in the Toerismekantoor van Koksijde (Zeelaan 303).
