They had been waiting for the event for several years! Fans of Mylène Farmer, some of whom have come especially from abroad, who hoped to see their idol perform at the Stade de France, will still have to wait… We have known since this Friday, June 30, 2023, the two concerts of the French star, scheduled for June 30 and June 1er July, have been canceled by the authorities for fear of excesses after the death of young Nahel which caused numerous riots in Ile-de-France but also throughout the country. “The announcement was made in the middle of the afternoon by the prefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis, a few hours before the first show. According to a police source, this cancellation was decided at the request of the elected officials of the department. Urban violence has been significant in Seine-Saint-Denis, where “almost all municipalities” were affected, a police source told AFP. Currently, up against the wall, the star’s teams “are looking for the best possibilities to try to find new dates, to propose solutions even if each new day remains an unknown”said his manager Thierry Suc on Twitter. On social networks, the reactions are obviously disenchanted: “They canceled Mylène Farmer’s concert? You know that this lady we NEVER see her, there it was a return. It’s amazing what’s going on” among other feelings of disgust and anger. For her part, the French diva even received a message of support from Michel Polnareff who tweeted: “It’s very sad, I just sent a message to Mylène and her team. So many ruined efforts?”

But today, Saturday 1er July 2023, Mylène Farmer also wanted to send a message of consolation to her fans, ten years after her last tour called Timeless. A message as we can see here relayed on Twitter by our colleague Jean-François Guyot. The star announces his disappointment like that of his fervent public: “I dreamed that we could love each other… I was waiting for this moment out of time to share with you this emotion, this unique vertigo that only you are able to provide. Huge sadness. I love you.” Hopefully this is just a short delay…
