Waylon has always been open to returning to The Common Linnets. The singer said this on Wednesday in the 538 Afternoon Show. “Everyone is making a comeback right now. Now this would be a comeback.”
Waylon and Ilse DeLange participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 as The Common Linnets. They came second with their song Calm After The Storm. After their great success, they broke up and had no contact for a while. DeLange continued the band and went on tour with the other band members.
“The door has never been closed for me,” says Waylon. The singer reiterated that he and DeLange have no feud. “A few years ago we saw each other in a restaurant. Then we walked up to each other and I said: ‘Isn’t it time we gave each other a big hug?’ And then we gave each other a big hug and maybe even a tear. Do you know what it is? The greatest success in her career and the greatest success in my career, we share it with each other.”
DeLange said in an interview with LINDA (Magazine) this week that she could no longer work with Waylon because he wanted to do things in a different way. “Due to our success during the Eurovision Song Contest – Calm After The Storm was number one in fourteen countries – many opportunities came our way,” the singer explains. According to her, that is where the disagreement arose. “Waylon wanted to tackle that in a way that I didn’t think was possible, so I said: ‘I’m going to jump on that train anyway. Participate or not, but I’m jumping on it’.” Source: nu.nl
