Management Denies Rieu's Balance Disorder

Update The Limburger Friday Feb. 10: André Rieu's management denies that he is suffering from a balance disorder. The management also denies the statements which Pierre Rieu allegedly made in the newspaper "Algemeen Dagblad". This newspaper reported Friday morning that André Rieu, just like a year ago is again suffering from a balance disorder and dizziness. In this paper Pierre Rieu was quoted as saying that, on the advice of André's physician he is required to take plenty of rest and medication." Especially since André is bed ridden and the entire room is continuously spinning around him." It was also stated that Pierre had said that the Limburg King of the Waltz did not suffer exactly from the same problem as a year ago.

Pierre, according to "Algemeen Dagblad": 'The question immediately arose as to whether it was the same problem with his balance organs as in 2010. That appeared not to be true at all. André does have a viral infection, but not in his equilibrium. However, this has become a weak spot in his body. Whenever he becomes ill, that could affect him again." (Thank you to John for this)

Rieu Suffers Again From Balance Disorder 

Algemeen Dagblad: Violin Virtuoso André Rieu (62) has currently not only suffered from a stubborn flu, but also a virus infection. According to his youngest son Pierre, the Viennese Waltz specialist also suffers from mysterious balance disorder and dizziness, which he had been ill for at least two months at the end of 2010. "At his doctor's advice my father has to take rest and medication. He lies mainly on the bed and the room rotates continuously in a strange way around him," said Pierre. 

Although the disease symptoms for which Rieu had to cancel concerts in Germany and Denmark, are not quite the same as a year ago. Pierre said, "Immediately we thought whether it would be the same disorder in his balanceorgans as in 2010, but hat was not quiteso. André suffers from a viral infection, but not in his equilibrium organs. However, they remain a weak spot in his body. Being sick, they can arise again. For now it is not possible for André to perform on stage. Son Pierre: "We want it 100% sure that nothing goes wrong on the stage. Looking at the situation right now, there is a chance that my father will lose his balance and could falland hurt himself. That's not an option for him and his audience. At the earliest ... Rieu will start to perform Saturday next week. Cancelled concerts will be rescheduled and tickets remain valid.
