Though police did not press charges and the investigation was dropped, Joost has now confirmed he won’t be taking part in the next Song Contest and needs ‘more time to heal’.

‘My team and I had everything ready, but it just doesn’t feel good.

‘I am very thankful for all the love around the world, however I am still very affected by this year.
