This picture caused curiosity online, and on the following day, April 24th, SBS6's infotainment news program "Shownieuws" featured an item about it. Showbiz expert Bart Ettekoven discussed this issue: "Due to Patty's series, Luv' are in the spotlight again. In this picture of a pleasant meal, you can see Marga and José sitting in the front with manager David and someone from a booking agency. It raises questions. Are there plans for a reunion? Why is Patty not present? Patty is in Ibiza, which explains why she could not come. Patty invited Marga and José to the premiere of her series, but they didn't come. We got in touch with Marga. Long story short: there won't be a reunion".
José in Story: "I don't believe in a cure" (May 1st)
The May 1st issue of Story magazine features an article about José Hoebee. Click here to read an excerpt online. The songstress has been very sick for five years, which caused Luv' to disband in early 2020. She feels so much pain in her mouth that she can only eat pureed food. However, she is considering writing a book about her adventures with Luv' after the success of Patty Brard's series on Videoland.
"Many people ask me why I don't put my adventures with Luv' on paper. Then I say to myself: "Why not?" Because I can write quite well. I have always enjoyed writing. On the other hand, I wonder if people want to read it. But if you see that a photo of Marga and me on Facebook leads to speculation about Luv's comeback, it means that the public is still interested in us. I'm going to consider it. It's going to be a different story than Patty's series. I watched the first episode on RTL 4 and was done with it. I haven't seen the rest," José says.
She doubts that writing this book will be a distraction from her pain. José has had such excruciating ache in her mouth that she can no longer eat solid food. After the death of her husband, record producer Will Hoebee, in 2012, her grief was immense, and she developed a tic. "I suck my lips through my teeth. Unfortunately, the inside of my mouth is so swollen that I have pain when eating. And it also hurts when I talk. I can only eat liquid, and my dietician gives me special drinks to ensure I get all the nutrients. I also puree everything into the smoothie. I have given up hope that it will ever go away. I now have to live with the fact that this will continue. I am in contact with Marga Scheide every day. We call or text. And fortunately, I have many friends who regularly come to visit me. We always go out for a drink or dinner. I miss my dog Toontje very much. I walked with him a few times a day. But he passed away two years ago. When I come home, I am alone. Another dog is not an option for me. I'm 70 and don't want a dog to outlive me," José explains.
The Dutch media news website "MediaCourant" posted an article about José's problems, following Story's publication. Click here to read it.
