ANDRÉ RIEU TO START AGAIN WITH REHEARSALS!
Maastricht November 1, 2010: On Monday, November 1, André starts again with rehearsals. The Maastricht stand alone violinist has been ill for some time and had to cancel three concerts in the Netherlands because for the first time in his career he was too ill to work. He suffered from a viral infection. On November 18th he will again perform for the first time in the Sports Palace in Antwerp.
Due to Rieu's illness several performances had to be canceled. Concerts in the Amsterdam Arena and the Thialf-stadium in Heerenveen were also canceled. These performances will be made up next year. An International Tour through Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand was also postponed. "My doctors and I work hard so that I will be healthy again," said the violinist himself. "They're doing all sorts of tests to determine if my full recovery can be reached as soon as possible. It really does not make much sense to force me now. But the tours we are planning are new and I'll be back."

His son Pierre has ensured that his father is allowing himself the rest he so desperately needs. "My father has worked too hard," said the son of the master violinist. "A virus infection like this only has one chance, and that is when the body is over tired."

What a fantastic start to the day with the news that André is starting rehearsals again. I hope his good health continues and he doesn’t push himself too hard, can’t wait for May 11 next year in Melbourne.
