He's the 70th's representation of Heintje Simons.
In the picturesque tri-border area, lives Hein Simons, a renowned Dutch singer, who shares his estate with his family and numerous horses. Known for his unique blend of cheekiness and sentimentality, Simons rose to fame at the tender age of 12, captivating audiences with his soulful rendition of "Mama" on the popular German TV show "Der Goldene Schuß."
Heintje, as he was then known, won a talent competition on ZDF and gained widespread popularity. His career took off, and he released several successful CDs, including "Heintje and I," a duet with the young Heintje using technology. Some of his chart-topping hits include "Ich bau' dir ein Schloß" and "Heidschi Bumbeidschi," solidifying his status as a child star.
Simons' life has not been without its challenges. His voice change was a significant turning point in his career, and he returned as Hein Simons without the high C. More recently, his hearing has deteriorated, making it difficult for him to continue singing. Consequently, he has had to cancel all concerts. However, there is a glimmer of hope as he expresses his hope for technological advancements to improve his hearing.
Despite these setbacks, Simons remains humble and grateful, looking back on his career with a sense of contentment. He continues to tour, albeit not at the same level of success as a child, and has even performed in China.
As he turns 70 this year, Simons will celebrate with his family, but without a grand party. Instead, he will focus on the simple pleasures of life, reminiscing about his time in the Hanni-Bar in Kerkrade, Netherlands, where he would often sing along to "Mama."
The family has had its fair share of struggles, trying to keep afloat with the bar. But through it all, they have remained united, with Simons' two sons and daughter living on the same estate.
In August, Simons is hosting a big farm party, and there might be a possibility of him singing live again. Regardless of what the future holds, Simons' legacy as a beloved singer remains unchanged, and his fans continue to support him through his challenges.
It is important to note that, as of August 2025, no verifiable or authoritative information on Simons' hearing health was found in the provided sources.
