Grumpy old men - Andre Hazes HitParade A live DJ mix and selections by Grumpy old men A selection of the greatest songs by Andre Hazes André Gerardus "André" Hazes (30 June 1951 – 23 September 2004) was the most popular singer of the Dutch levenslied genre, popular music about everyday life sung in the Dutch language. Hazes recorded 31 studio and live albums and he released 55 singles. On 23 September 2004 Hazes died of cardiac arrest. Eventually, his lifestyle had caught up with him, and somehow he became bigger in death than he had ever been during his lifetime. Everybody identified with him, and in the months after his death, André Hazes became public domain. Four days after he died, a startling crowd of about 48,000 attended a memorial ceremony in his honour at the Amsterdam Johan Cruijff Arena stadium. Over 8 million viewers followed the event which was broadcast live on Dutch and Belgian television. Hazes was cremated the day after.
