Health problems: Vicky Leandros has to postpone parts of her farewell tour

The farewell tour of Vicky Leandros, one of the most influential faces of German pop music, is experiencing unexpected interruptions. Due to an acute respiratory infection with a severe cough, the 71-year-old artist is forced to cancel several concerts. This affects performances in Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and two dates in Belgium. The decision follows the recommendation of a specialist doctor to rest her singing and speaking voice. "I am very sad and sorry not to be able to perform these concerts," Leandros said. Her misfortune is exacerbated by a recent fall from the stage. Despite these setbacks, the artist plans to make up for the canceled dates as soon as possible in order to say a proper farewell to her audience
