Just hours before the Eurovision 2024 final, Dutch artist Joost Klein was removed from the competition due to a backstage incident. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) launched an investigation into an incident involving a complaint made by a female crew member, and Swedish police confirmed they were probing “unlawful threats” made after the semi-final. The investigation resulted in the EBU deeming Klein’s behavior in violation of contest rules, leading to his withdrawal from the grand final.
