Josje Huisman returns to K3 in December for Hanne Verbruggen

Josje Huisman is returning to K3 for a series of December performances to cover for the pregnant Hanne Verbruggen, vrt.net reported. The 40-year-old former singer will step back onto the stage during Verbruggen’s upcoming maternity leave.

The December Stage Return

Huisman received the invitation and initially mistook the call for a different opportunity. “I thought at first they were calling me to sing with Gert and James,” she said, according to Nieuwsblad. She quickly realized the producers wanted her back in the iconic rainbow dress for the winter dates. “I still have my rainbow dress at home,” she told AD.nl, noting that her original performance outfit remains stored in her wardrobe at home.

The temporary comeback marks her first time performing with the group in a decade.
