A new tile is falling on the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Christine and the Queens is canceling its two shows scheduled for this weekend.
Via a message on Facebook, the Festival announced on Friday that it was “obligated to cancel” the performances of Chris, alias Redcar, singer of Christine and the Queens, “for reasons beyond [son] control “. The French songwriter was to perform at the MTelus on Saturday and Sunday.
It is the second headliner to cancel its presence at the International Jazz Festival this week, after Macy Gray, who was to headline the outdoor closing event on Saturday evening. A “schedule problem” would explain the absence of the American artist, reported the Spectra team on Wednesday.
The Festival invites fans of Christine and the Queens to keep their tickets. New dates should soon be unveiled, specifies the organization.
