Overview

On 22 July 2026 French chanteuse Mireille Mathieu marked her 80th birthday with a white‑themed celebration in her hometown of Avignon. The event gathered all fourteen of her siblings, featured a Chanel outfit, a custom cake by her brother Vincent, and highlighted her modest upbringing and six‑decade career.

A few days later, Mathieu announced a final concert series titled “Goodbye My Love Goodbye.” The farewell tour will begin on 28 October 2026 in Chemnitz, Germany, and will visit major German cities and Austria before concluding on 16 May 2027 in Prague.
