Hermanus (Herman) Brood (Zwolle, November 5, 1946 – Amsterdam, July 11, 2001) was a Dutch singer, painter, pianist, actor and author. Brood distinguished himself by his distinctive singing voice and musical diversity. With the very flamboyant lifestyle that he coveted and deliberately displayed, he became the Dutch embodiment of the hedonistic credo Sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll. Brood eventually showed standard withdrawal symptoms such as incontinence, epilepsy and delirium tremens after years of frequent and excessive amphetamine and alcohol use. Four months before his fifty-fifth birthday, he committed suicide by jumping off the roof of the Amsterdam Hilton hotel with a farewell note in his pocket.
