Biography
Marco Frank Ferdinand Woesthoff
With his spouse, Guusje Nederhorst,
he had one son, Dean Maddy (born June 29, 2003); exactly seven months
before she died of cancer. The boys second name, Maddy, actually is the
first name of Dinand's former girlfriend, who also died of cancer.
After Guusje Nederhorst's
death, Dinand wrote and recorded his tribute to her: "Dreamer (Gussie's
Song)". Most Dutch radio stations aired it on the day of her funeral
(which would have been her 35th birthday), Feb. 04, 2004, at 12:00 pm.
Directly after the single hit the streets a week later on Feb. 11, it
entered the major Dutch hit lists at the No. 1 position. All revenues of
this single are donated to the Dutch cancer institute, the Koningin
Wilhemina Fonds.
Son Dean Maddy, born June 29, 2003.
Second son Jimi Frank, born December 16, 2006.
