Niels Destadsbader, usually known for his sparkling enthusiasm and energetic appearance, has gone through a tough period. In an interview with Het Laatste Nieuws, the singer and presenter talks candidly about how personal and professional setbacks threw him completely off balance.
Destadsbader looks back on the past years, in which he had to deal with an accumulation of drastic events. “A lot has happened. I had to find my peace again, some kind of desire and enthusiasm too. Making music starts with creating songs, but for that you have to feel good about yourself. My hold disappeared one by one. A seven-year relationship ended, which also meant saying goodbye to several people, because I was a plus dad. In addition, the press was tough after my switch to VRT, and that continued. And as if that wasn’t enough, my house burned down.”
According to Niels, these events caused him to lose his self-confidence. “The self-confidence I normally have was gone. And it doesn’t benefit anyone to come and see someone who is looking for themselves.”
“Everything I lived for was suddenly gone”
The events had a major impact on the entertainer and football fan. “From one day to the next – no, in a few hours even – everything I had lived for and in for the past twelve years was gone. For the first time in my life I felt so sad and bad.”
Destadsbader admits that the impact was significant, even on his daily routine. “For a while I did nothing but enter ‘Niels Destadsbader news’ into Google. First thing when I get up, last thing before I go to sleep.”
“There was far too little left of Niels”
The usually cheerful Destadsbader is now feeling better, but the events have left lasting marks. “There was far too little left of that Niels who always went through life whistling. I feel much better now, but the things that happened are scars. I will carry that with me for years to come. Maybe for the rest of my life, I don’t know.”

What Can We Learn?
