French pop icon Mireille Mathieu is now coming to Germany with her last major tour abroad, "Goodbye my Love Goodbye". The 78-year-old will kick off the tour in Chemnitz this Thursday (October 24). According to information from the ticket portal Eventim, she will be performing in ten German cities, including Berlin, Dresden, Munich and Frankfurt, until mid-November. With the two-year international anniversary tour, which began in 2023, Mathieu is bidding farewell to major tours.
Germany is the first European stop on her best-of tour, with which she is celebrating her 60-year career. Among other things, Mathieu will perform a song dedicated to her mother, which she has never sung in Germany before. "My mother loved coming to Germany" Performing the song here for the first time will be full of emotion for her, as she told the German Press Agency in an interview.
More time for creative projects
She will only make short guest appearances and visit fewer cities, explains the Frenchwoman. A decision that not only has something to do with her age. She also wants to slow down the pace in order to have more time for herself and for creative projects such as composing.
Mathieu has a very special relationship with Germany. "I feel welcome and the audience appreciates me." German was also the first foreign language she sang in. That was in 1969 with "Behind the Scenes in Paris". After Germany, it's on to Prague and the Slovakian capital Bratislava.
