Joost Klein, the Eurovision Song Contest entrant for the Netherlands, will not perform in a second dress rehearsal for the grand final while an investigation into an unspecified “incident” continues, the organisers have said.

The 26-year-old Dutch rapper and singer qualified at the Malmo Arena venue in Sweden on Thursday evening with his up-tempo song Europapa, a tribute to his late parents.
