The Netherland's Eurovision act Joost Klein will not perform in a second dress rehearsal for the grand final while an investigation into an unspecified “incident” continues, the organisers have said.
A week of controversy and protest ended with crisis meetings and the mysterious suspension of the 26-year-old Dutch rapper who qualified at the Malmo Arena venue in Sweden on Thursday evening with his up-tempo song Europapa, a tribute to his late parents.
Israel's participation in Eurovision as the war in Gaza rages has meant politics has dominated an event which strives to be apolitical, with pro-Palestinian protests calling for a boycott of the competition.
