In december 2008, the now 53-year-old Johnny Hansen, his wife, and his two daughters, then 12 and 15 lost their mother.
His 35-year-old wife, Helle Bekhøj, had taken his own life.

And more than ten years later plagues him still. He tells this in a interview with Berlingske.
Here he is asked if he has a scar that tells a special story and is equivalent:
– Yes, our family has really a scar. My wife took her own life in 2008, and it is a wound that never heals, it will follow not just my girls and me, but the whole family the rest of our lives. Even here, ten years after, I do not understand that a human being can think that it is the only way out. There is so much help to be had in our country, there are so many good people, as can a lot of things – so that someone chooses the path, the teacher I never have to understand. But it has got us to move closer together in the family.

Danseorkesteret has always had many concerts, and the many tours around the country were at one time by giving him stress, he has previously explained to the BT.
Last year, he was unwell, and fell, and since then, he has begun to exercise and to eat healthier. But he admits to George that he is working too much.
– I have also got the yellow card a few times. I think I have become better at listening to the signals the body sends. I say actually no once in a while. It was totally unthinkable just a few years ago, he strikes fast.
