Hermanus "Herman" Brood (Dutch pronunciation: [ɦɛrˈmaË nɵs
ˈɦɛrmÉ'n ˈbroË t]; 5 November 1946 â€" 11 July 2001) was a Dutch
musician, painter, actor and poet. As a musician he achieved artistic
and commercial success in the 1970s and 1980s, and was called "the
greatest and only Dutch rock 'n' roll star". Later in life he started
a successful career as a painter.Known for his hedonistic lifestyle of
"sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll", Brood was an enfant terrible and a
cultural figure whose suicide by jumping from a hotel roof, apparently
influenced by a failure to kick his drug and alcohol habit,
strengthened his controversial status; according to a poll organised
to celebrate fifty years of Dutch popular music, it was the most
significant event in its history.Herman Brood was born in Zwolle, and
started playing the piano at age 12. He founded beat band The Moans in
1964, which would later become Long Tall Ernie and the Shakers. Brood
was asked to play with Cuby and the Blizzards, but was removed by
management when the record company discovered he used drugs. For a
number of years Brood was in jail (for dealing LSD), or abroad, and
had a number of short-term engagements (with The Studs, the Flash &
Dance Band, Vitesse). Herman Brood Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
