It may have been a quarter of a century since the Vengaboys stormed the charts but if you look at Kim Sasabone, not a day has passed. Now Kim has just celebrated turning 48 and she’s still smiling away as looking radiant as she did in the early 90s . Posting a throwback baby picture for her birthday on April 1 on
Instagram, the pop icon wrote: ‘Hello little girl, it’s your 48th birthday 🥳.’ The Dutch and Brazilian
Singer first rose to fame at just 23 alongside her bandmates Denise van Rijswijk, Robin Pors, and Donny Latupeirissa. In 1998 the Dutch quartet crashed into the
UK charts with Up and Down, We Like To Party and the iconic Boom Boom Boom. Four years later, the group went on hiatus and pursued other projects and personal lives, including Kim’s marriage. She has been with DJ husband, Nick Kazemian, for twenty-five years now and they share 10-year-old son, Joveyn. Kim regularly posts sweet family snaps of her son and their holidays as well as pictures of the group together, touring the world. 90s pop icon admits his father encouraged him to come out as gay Nineties sitcom star, 53, stuns after barely ageing in decades Iconic 90s band reunites but fans beg for one condition Robbie Williams names the only popstar he reckons is 'unhinged' The Vengaboys reunited in 2007 and have been touring ever since, performing smash hit We’re Going To Ibiza for fans all over the world. In 2021, they joined Peter Andre and Atomic Kitten at a throwback festival for the baby pop genre and often headline 90s throwback festivals. Donny has said of the bands enduring success: ‘For us, the 90’s never stopped anyway. ‘But we do notice that a lot of people are weighed down by a heavy mood, and it is kind of striking that this has been the case since the new millennium. I’m just saying.’ Kim added: ‘We have been on a non-stop world tour since 1999. We’ve been dying to re-unite with our
Friends and fans [post-Covid].’ Along with touring consistently for 25 years, they also submit Boom Boom Boom into Eurovision annually but thus far have not been successful. ‘We tried it with Boom Boom. Every year we send in Boom Boom but they don’t accept it,’ they told MailOnline last year. ‘It has to be a new song. We need to write a new song that’s a little bit naughty, and enter that in.’ Got a story?
