On January 20th, the Collectieve Propaganda van het Nederlandse Boek (CPNB, "Collective Promotion for the Dutch Book"), a Dutch organization that includes representatives of bookstores and publishers, revealed the list of the 100 best-selling books of 2020 in the Netherlands. Click here to read the complete list.
The tell-all book entitled "Patty: de negen levens van Patty Brard" (written by Michel van Egmond and Antoinnette Scheulderman) reached Nr. 94 on CPNB Top 100 and sold more than 24.000 copies. The publication came out on Patty Brard's 65th birthday on March 25th, 2020. It generated lots of publicity in the media (especially the tabloid press as the TV diva mentioned many celebrities (including ex-husbands Ron Brandsteder, Carlo Nasi and René Muthert, colleagues from the showbiz (Ralf Inbar, Bridget Maasland, André Hazes, Patricia Paay, Gordon, John de Mol...), ex-lovers (like Eric Peute who was the reason for her bankruptcy in the 1990s), international music legends (Freddy Mercury, Steve Strange...). A spectacular release party was supposed to be held at the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam. But this event was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. During the promotion of the biography, Patty was on total lockdown on Ibiza and gave many interviews on Skype.
In her memoirs, La Brard also discussed Luv', the girl group that made her the media personality she is today. She criticized José Hoebee and Marga Scheide. Click here to read my article about what the ungrateful prima donna told about Luv'.
