ONLY in this community the blogger writes “the players was”…then complain about the spelling of Trump in the very next blog entry……
Not only in this community.
But yes — clearly, proofreading is something other people need to do.
Prufreed? What’s tha?
Trump misspelled intentionately…..this is his very fine humor….
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and hope for a speedy recovery
God be with you,
Speedy recovery love love this Orchestra so much own every DVD of them, wish could fly to Europe to see them life.
I marvel that I have been able to enjoy Andre Reiu’s remarkable performances on Utube without a penny changing hands. He has a lot of work to do bringing music to the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I pray the giant strength and good fortune.
Im so Sorry to hear that one of the Fantastic musicians has been taken so seriously ill. My thoughts and prayers go with you all and I do hope they make a full and speedy recovery. God Bless you All
The message was a bit ambiguous because I wasn’t sure if it was Andre or a member of his orchestra. The entire group is my favorite. I hope and pray that whoever the member is recovers God bless the whole Orchestra! indeed they are phenomenal!!
Does any body know if je is okay?
Is it Andre who has had the heart attack?
” … a musician suffered a severe heart attack this morning. The players was rushed to hospital where is condition is said to be critical.
– a bit confusing use of English …
How is that confusing? Yes it would be nice to know who it was, but its certainly not confusing. There are 4 male violinists including Andre, so theres a 25% chance it is him. So sad for whoever it is and their family .
Cher André Rieu,
J’espère de tout coeur que le musicien ou la musicienne va s’en sortir. Je pense très fort à vous, à votre orchestre et staff, et surtout, à sa famille. God Bless him or her.
So sad at this time of the year, Andre and his orchestra bring so much happiness to so many people around the world. Send all our best wishes to them, especially the musician and the family. God bless.
We had travelled all day to get to Nottingham and only found out when we
were 10 minutes away. Whoever it is, must have a pivotal role within the
orchestra. We are surrounding all of them with healing light and love.
So Sorry to learn of this as we arrived in Nottingham last evening to attend this concert. Our thoughts, and prayers are with this performer, his family and all the members of the orchestra and all those involved in organising and presenting these shows of Andre Rieu and his orchestra. We wait for news of the rescheduled date of the concert and prayer that the performer in question makes a full recovery.
Prayers are with you.
You’re all just one big family and so close in the only thing to do, all our. Love and prayers go out to your friend concerned and his family , and to you all too xxx
So sorry I did not get to your concert in Nottingham due to the sudden illness of one of the orchestra. We were on our way and had to turn around and come home. So disappointed but we understand the reason for the cancellation. Hope that the musician is on the mend and hope all will be well. Best wishes to you all. Xx
We wish your Extended Family member a speedy recovery. Sending love &Prayers to you. Mr Andre you are a True Gentleman to cancel concert. On the eve of you JSO being very ill. Hope this gentleman makes a speefy recovery & once more Many Many thanks to your decision. You truly are not all about money Sir.
Many thoughts and prayers go to the seriously ill musician and his or her family and also for Andre and his wonderful orchestra and team who give so much pleasure to millions of people all over the world. Praying for a full recovery.

From S.A. Love Andre and his orchestra. Bought all his DVD’s. The fact that he cancelled the shows, shows you that he really cares about the musiscians in his orchestra. Can’t wait for your next show at the Palace in Sun City.
