We won't see her on stage this summer. Jane Birkin announced, this Friday, cancel for health reasons all her concerts that were scheduled for June at the Olympia and La Cigale, as well as her participation in summer festivals. She had already been forced to cancel her concerts in March for the same reason. "See you this fall," the singer said in a statement.
"I have always been a great optimist, and I realize that I still need a little time to be able to be able again on stage and with you," wrote Jane Birkin, 76, in her statement announcing the cancellation of these concerts. "I miss you," she adds to her audience.

These concerts at the Olympia and La Cigale were part of his "Oh! Pardon tu dormait", the name of his latest album. The concert scheduled for June 17 at La Cigale was originally scheduled to take place in March, but was postponed. She had cancelled a Breton concert a few days earlier after a fracture. "I'm not well at all, I broke my shoulder blade and I'm in a lot of pain," she told Le Télégramme.
The British singer, mother of Charlotte Gainsbourg, had already been forced to cancel concerts in September 2021 after suffering a mild form of stroke. "I am on my feet and well," she wanted to reassure last September, in an interview with the Parisian. "I knew I was in good hands, in places that I finally like a lot," she also said in another.
