The English-French singer had been touring France since 2021 – until she suffered a stroke in September. The 76-year-old has to cancel the planned concerts in Germany.
Several planned concerts by the English-French singer and actress Jane Birkin have been canceled due to illness. “Health problems are forcing Jane Birkin to cancel her scheduled concerts for the next two months,” concert promoter Semmel Concerts said on Thursday.
The concert planned for March 24 in the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and her performances on March 26 in Munich (Isarphilharmonie) and on March 29 in Berlin (Friedrichstadt-Palast) are affected.
All tickets can be returned to where they were purchased. There are no alternative dates yet – according to the organizer, the plan should be rescheduled when the native of London and French-by-choice is healthy again.
With her current album “Oh! Pardon tu dormais…” (German: Oh! Excuse me, you’re sleeping…), the 76-year-old went on tour in France in 2021 until she suffered a stroke in September. The performances were made up for in 2022 and 2023.
