Predictions
Background
Johannes Heesters, a Dutch-born singer in musicals in the 1930s and the world's oldest active stage entertainer, primed himself to go on stage Tuesday for a 107th-birthday special.
Though his voice is cracked and he is semi-blind, Heesters, who lives in Germany, refuses to give up theatre life. He marked his 107th birthday out of the public eye on Sunday, delaying the celebration to a theatre appearance Tuesday evening entitled "Jopie's 107th Revue" in the central city of Erfurt.
Recently he told the German Press Agency dpa he was hoping to be cast in a new stage play, and his wife said he remained a stickler for discipline with daily routines of singing practice.
A Vienna newspaper, Kurier, quoted his doctor this year saying Heesters' blood counts and heart were healthy and he is not on any medication.
