“La Maritza“, “Love is like a cigarette”“Like a boy”“The most beautiful to go dancing“… Her hits have made several generations of French people dance and sing. At almost 80 years old, Sylvie Vartan will soon retire from the stage. The star of the song, who capsized the Beatles, who were opening for her at his beginnings, had a busy career.
“I’ll see you again for my farewell tour“
Married to a certain Johnny Hallyday in April 1965, the star of the “Salut les amis” years conquered France by arriving from her native Bulgaria, at the age of 8. She will have sold no less than 40 million albums.
She, who celebrated her sixty years on stage in 2021, by releasing a 50th album, where she collaborated with Clara Luciani and La Grande Sophie, had not toured since then. Like her son, David Hallyday, Sylvie Vartan will finally be on tour in 2024! And it will be his last, with an appropriate title: “I bow out“. This is the sad news that she announced this January 23, 2024 to fans, on the Web.
The singer wrote them a tender message – “It is with great love and emotion that I will meet you again for my farewell tour“, on Instagram. She also announces that she will spend November 8, 9 and 10, 2024 at the Dôme de Paris. A show which promises to be rich in surprises and guests, we hope.
“Only death puts an end to activity”
A huge surprise for many of her admirers who thought that Sylvie Vartan would never leave. Indeed, in the columns of Paris Match in October 2021, she assured: “In this profession, only death puts an end to the activity. As long as I can, as long as I think I can contribute something, I will go on stage. It’s great, isn’t it?”
