Hermanus (Herman) Brood (Zwolle, November 5, 1946 – Amsterdam, July 11, 2001) was a Dutch singer, painter, pianist, actor and author. Brood distinguished himself by his characteristic singing voice and musical diversity. With the highly flamboyant lifestyle he coveted and consciously displayed, he became the Dutch embodiment of the hedonistic credo Sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll. Brood eventually showed standard withdrawal symptoms such as incontinence, epilepsy and delirium tremens after years of frequent and excessive amphetamine and alcohol use. Four months before his fifty-fifth birthday, he committed suicide by jumping from the roof of the Amsterdam Hilton hotel with a suicide note in his pocket. Some spots on the page.
