Front 242 cancels concerts in Belgium as singer is hospitalized
In a message on Facebook Front 242 announces that they have canceled the 2 concerts in Kortrijk at De Kreun (Belgium) which were taking place today and tomorrow.
The band’s singer Jean-Luc De Meyer (born 1957 in Brussels) is hospitalized since last night “and his health is worrying” so the band says.
Front 242: “We are aware that all our fans were looking forward to this concert and we are all disappointed. Let’s all keep our hearts with Jean-Luc.”
The whole Side-Line team wishes Jean-Luc all the best and a good recovery.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
