Jermaine Jackson Practicing With André Rieu in Maastricht

André Rieu Practicing With Jermaine Jackson

RTL Boulevard July 10, 2013: André Rieu and Jermaine Jackson have been good friends for a while. The two were in Maastricht today and this weekend they will stand together on stage during the famous Vrijthof concerts. André is very enthusiastic about his American friend. "He has such a distinctive voice. His voice is very similar to that of Michael."

The brother of the deceased King of Pop is ready for the concert series. "The rehearsals went very well. It is an honor to work with André and his orchestra." But Jermaine is not in the Netherlands just for the concert. "I also want to have a look around the area. I’ve had a special place in my heart for Maastricht since the 80's."

The Limburg violinist has more plans in store. He would very much like to work with some world-famous artists. He could not confirm any names, but the idea is for these performances to appear on an album. The name of the album is known: André With Friends "and is expected to be released in the fall of 2014.

The Vrijthof concerts will still take place on 12, 13 and 14 July.
