The Netherlands' Eurovision entrant has been questioned by police over claims he made 'unlawful threats' to a member of staff, Dutch media reports. Joost Klein, 26, missed his slot in the show's penultimate dress rehearsal in Malmo, Sweden, on Friday and was not allowed to take part in either of yesterday's two dry-runs after the event's organiser said it was investigating an 'incident' he was involved in.
A video posted on the X social media platform showed a producer announcing that Klein would not be performing on Friday, prompting a chorus of boos from members of the audience. Klein had been part of the flag parade at the start of the rehearsal, and walked around the stage in full costume, but then failed to arrive on stage for his performance around 30 minutes later. The EBU also said it was talking to Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS, without explaining why.
