Though police did not press charges and the investigation was dropped, Joost has now confirmed he won’t be taking part in the next Song Contest and needs ‘more time to heal’.

‘My team and I had everything ready, but it just doesn’t feel good.

‘I am very thankful for all the love around the world, however I am still very affected by this year.

‘I need to give myself more time to heal.

‘It was my dream to do Eurovision and we did that.

What a crappy title. It suggeSt that he dropped out of it because of the police investigation but its because the EBU are jerks

There's actually another thing. There was an incident during a memorial service for Dutch celebrities. He stated that it was a mistake but it came across insensitive at the least.
