The disappointment of Mylène Farmer fans seems to be shared by their idol. The two concerts of the French singer were canceled due to the riots in reaction to the death of Nahel. In his press release, the author of “Libertine” expresses his “tremendous sadness”. “I dreamed that we could love each other [lyrics from his song “Rêver”, Editor’s note]. 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,” it read.
“All of Mylène Farmer’s thoughts go to those who were looking forward to living with her, these two evenings […] and who had organized their transport and accommodation, sometimes for almost two years”, continues her management. Some fans had been camping for nearly a week in front of the Stade de France to get the best seats in front of the stage.
The teams of the interpreter of “Disenchanted” are “looking for the best possibilities to try to find new dates, to propose solutions, even if each new day remains an unknown”, can we still read.
The announcement of the cancellation of the two shows at the Stade de France was made Friday in the middle of the afternoon by the prefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis, a few hours before the first show, the second being scheduled for Saturday.
According to a police source, these cancellations were decided at the request of the elected officials of the department. Urban violence was significant in Seine-Saint-Denis, where “almost all municipalities” were affected, a police source told AFP.
