Vicky Leandros wants to say goodbye to the stage with her tour – and has now announced six more concerts.
Vicky Leandros (70) celebrates her farewell to the live stage with her tour “I love life”. Now the tour has been expanded “due to the great demand” by five more cities and six concerts, among other things in a Facebook post. The singer will not have her last appearance in autumn 2023, but in spring 2024. In addition, she will perform in Leipzig (March 12), Essen (March 13), Lübeck (March 21), Düsseldorf (March 23) and Nuremberg (March 24). The first concert in Hanover on October 28 was already sold out, so March 15, 2024 was added as an additional date. The tickets for the new concerts are already available at Eventim and at all well-known ticket offices.
Vicky Leandros: “It’s time to stop”
Her farewell period begins on March 25, 2023 with two sold-out concerts in the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, followed by another performance in the Cologne Philharmonie on October 9, 2023. According to the announcement, the program of the “I love life” tour offers a mixture of chanson, pop, soul, hits, Greek folk music and rock songs.
Last November, Vicky Leandros stated that her tour in autumn 2023 should be the last and that she wanted to retire afterwards. “I think it’s time to stop,” said the singer. As a reason for this consideration, she gives: “I turned 70 in the summer. That’s when you start to think about the finitude of life. It has to be over at some point.”
