Belgian singer Yasmine and Cohen fan has died... help wanted

Post by nessler »

Yasmine was a Belgian singer songwirter and host of several tv shows over here.
She was a very popular person and very loved. During her career she covered
Cohen songs and compiled a cd with the Dutch versions of these songs.

Needless to say she was a huge fan.
She was married to her wife for several years, but they split up a few months ago.
In the weeks that followed she lost a lot of weight and appeared less and less on tv.

Yesterday the news came that she had committed suicide, I guess you can say she died of a broken heart.
The news came as a shock, and nobody saw it coming especially since she was such a strong woman.
She was only 37 years old.

Dince Mr. Cohen is currently on tour and is performing next week Saturday in Belgium,
I was hoping to contact the gentleman himself and let him new of the news.
I don't know if he knows her or if he would be willing to do this, but
in my eyes there would be no greater "tribute" than a song dedicated to her.

If anyone knows how to contact somebody close to mr Cohen I would greatly appreciate it.
I will also post this in the news section just to increase the odds.

yasmine's website: http://www.yasmine.be
news site from the tv station she was working : http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws
It's all over the front page, beneath the other sad news of the King of Pop.

any help is greatly appreciated...
