What happened in Luv' land in 2021?
Despite Covid-19 and its variants and one year after Luv's latest break-up due to José Hoebee's ill health, the ladies went on with their lives.
The former Luv' singers can count on platforms that are regularly updated:
Four Facebook Pages (Official Luv', José Hoebee Fan Page, Ria Thielsch Fan Zone: Forever Yours, the Dutch-German Luv' Fan Page).
One Instagram account.
One Twitter account
My Luvgirlgroup site
* In February 2021, the Official LUV' fan page on Facebook (in association with Hans van Hemert productions and the YesterMix's YouTube channel) presented the 2021 Uptempo Remix of Luv's classic hit "Ooh, Yes I Do" by DJ WR (Wouter Reinders) and DJ BarFeet (Maarten Bervoets). Shortly afterwards, the Spanish version of this remix entitled "Si Que Si 2021 (Versión Uptempo)" came out.
* On March 1st, 2021, Chimène van Oosterhout revealed on social media the trailer of a documentary series entitled "K*T Kanker" after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In this documentary conceived by Filmfactory.nl (Evert den Hartogh and Jacco den Hartogh), she showed her life as a cancer patient. She discussed her health on several occasions in the media.
* The 2020 edition of Bonnie St. Claire & José Hoebee's album "Herinnering" (including Dutch cover versions of ABBA songs) continued being promoted in Dutch media in early 2021.
* 2021 saw the reissue of two albums and several singles on digital platforms: All You Need Is Luv' (April 2021), Sincerely Yours (June 2021) and the four singles/maxi-singles taken from it: Hasta Mañana, Jungle Jive, The Last Song and He's My Guy as well as This Old Heart Of Mine (October 2021).
* In the summer of 2021, Marga Scheide discussed in Privé and De Telegraaf a Luv' biopic project developed by Frederik Nelck, a film and television scriptwriter, script doctor, format creator, item director and songwriter. In addition to this biopic, new remixes of Luv' songs might be released.
* Ria Thielsch kept a low profile and enjoyed life with her family and friends.
* Chimène wrote columns about her life as a breast cancer patient for WendyOnline.nl (Wendy van Dijk's online platform specialized in women's issues).
* Marga appeared as a guest artist during a couple of Piv Huvluv's shows in Belgium.
* Marga attended the release parties of "The Legacy of ABBA" (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) by Stany Van Wymeersch in Sweden and Belgium.
* After an important MRI examination related to her breast cancer, Chimène announced her remission on her Instagram account on November 23rd. This victory was overshadowed by bad news: her father's health got worse. He died of leukaemia on December 26th.
