Concern grows over Jane Birkin’s health. At the end of January, suffering, she had canceled a first concert in Montpellier. At the beginning of March, two other French dates fell by the wayside: Plougastel-Daoulas and Nantes. The reason: a broken bone.
This Tuesday, it is a flight of other appointments which have been postponed, including its passage on the stage of the Olympia in Paris on March 21. Forced to rest by her doctors, the 76-year-old singer will not resume her tour for two months. “I’m not well at all, I broke my shoulder blade and I’m in a lot of pain.” she told the Telegram early March.
At the end of February, Internet users were surprised and moved when Jane Birkin appeared at the Cesar ceremony. They were also worried, as the Briton was so unrecognizable and seemed very “diminished”.
In 2021, when she was to start her tour with the album Oh ! Sorry you were sleeping (an excellent record by the way!); she had suffered a stroke. Since then, it has become very rare.
In the past, Jane Birkin also fought two leukemias. The first in 1998, the second ten years ago, in 2013. With the key to very long hospitalizations. Between 18 and 24 months!
The singer is due to resume her tour on May 26. The date at the Olympia in Paris has been rescheduled for June 17.
