A song for which in particular the refrain starting with Een eigen huis, een plek onder de zon (A private home, a place under the sun) morphed into a community sing-a-long evergreen.    From 1989 on, he has released more singles, with mixed results.  He started the tour "Pure & More" in Amsterdam Arena.  In 2005, he was diagnosed prostate cancer that resulted in several complications.
