ROCK N ROLL JUNKIE The rise and fall of a Dutch icon: HERMAN BROOD 19462001 Ten years ago, in July 2001, the Dutch musician, painter and media personality HERMAN BROOD put an end to his life by jumping from the roof of the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel. To many, his suicide was the most significant event in the history of Dutch pop music of the 20th century. Ten years without BROOD, but he still lives on: His music, an impressive art collection and, last but not least, the story of his life, have made him immortal. HERMAN BROOD (19462001) was an enfant terrible and a cultural figure whose suicide only strengthened his controversial status.

Later in life he became also a wellknown painter. He set up his atelier in Amsterdam, and it became his second home. HERMAN BROOD was born on November 5, 1946 in Zwolle in the eastern part
