The disappointing result at this Contest , coupled with the expansion of the Contest following the collapse of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union , meant that Denmark was relegated from competing in the 1994 contest , causing them to miss a finale for the first time since 1977 . The media reacted poorly to this , putting the blame on Seebach personally , which his son later revealed was one of the main reasons for his father 's descent into alcoholism and depression , which led to his divorce and ultimately his early death ten years later . Although Seebach had become sober at the time , the many years of heavy drinking had caused permanently damaged his heart , which led to the deadly heart attack in 2003 . '' Under stjernerne på himlen '' was played at Seebach 's funeral , as the coffin was carried out of the church
