The Netherlands' Eurovision entry Joost Klein is under investigation by the European Broadcasting Union due to an unexplained 'incident' - and will not be rehearsing again until 'further notice'. The Dutch singer missed his slot in the show's penultimate dress rehearsal in Malmo, Sweden, on Friday, where he had been due to perform in fifth place ahead of Israel's Edan Golan. It is not yet clear if Joost will be performing in Saturday's grand final.
He will not be rehearsing until further notice. 'We have no further comment at this time and will update in due course.' The 26-year 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. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly. Please refresh the page for the fullest version.
