December 2nd 2024.
It's official - the iconic band from the 90s, Vengaboys, has announced that they will be replacing one of their original members after being together for over 25 years. The group, known for their Eurodance hits and energetic performances, formed in 1997 in Rotterdam and quickly rose to fame with chart-topping singles like "Up and Down", "We Like to Party", and "We're Going to Ibiza". With an estimated 25 million records sold worldwide, they have solidified their place in music history.
Despite going on hiatus in 2002, the Dutch group has continued to keep the party going with new releases and tours over the past two decades. However, for the first time, they will be moving forward without their lead singer, Kim Sasabone. In an announcement shared on their official Instagram account, the band stated that Kim will be taking some time off, saying, "Sometimes even legends need a break." They also revealed that Cilla from Chipz will be stepping in as a temporary replacement, keeping the energy sky-high while Kim takes a well-deserved break.
As they continue to tour the world, with dates set for Germany, Scotland, Australia, Spain, Poland, and Finland, the band is grateful for their loyal fans and the support they have received throughout their career. Kim also shared her own message, expressing her love and gratitude for the band and the unforgettable experiences they have shared. She acknowledged that it was a difficult decision to take a sabbatical, but she felt it was necessary for her to take some time to find herself.
The band's temporary replacement, Cilla, expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to join Vengaboys. She also thanked her family and the members of her own group, Chipz, for their support in allowing her to take on this new adventure. With Vengaboys and Chipz being two of the most successful Dutch pop groups, Cilla feels honored to join forces and continue spreading love and happy music around the world.
It's no surprise that Vengaboys have remained busy and in-demand, with their iconic song "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!" still a fan favorite and even being submitted to Eurovision every year since 2023. However, their dedication and hard work have taken a toll on Kim, who has decided to take a break and prioritize her well-being. Fans and colleagues have shown their support and admiration for Kim, with fellow artists and musicians praising her for giving her all in every performance.
As she takes some time to rest and recharge, Kim is excited to come back stronger than ever and continue making music with Vengaboys. In the meantime, the group will continue to spread joy and good vibes with Cilla as their temporary lead singer. And as always, they are grateful for their loyal fans who have been a part of their incredible journey.
