Hard blow for Jane Birkin. Indeed, the muse of Serge Gainsbourg was forced to cancel the last dates of his tour due toan unfortunately failing state of health.
In addition to her brilliant career as a singer, the most French of the British also leads a successful career on the big screen. The 1970s icon toured with legends Alain Delon, Romy Schneider and Jean-Paul Belmondo. However, it is in her role as the muse of ” the man with the cabbage head » that she will have marked the most this crazy decade.
Jane Birkin cancels her engagements
For her great love Serge Gainsbourg, the one who gave her surname to an emblematic Hermès handbag, will have lent her delicious British accent to the most sulphurous titles. The charismatic couple recorded the famous anthem together, among other things I love you and neither do I. In love with Gainsbourg but tired of the excesses of Gainsbarre, the mother of their daughter Charlotte will end up leaving her Pygmalion.
After passing through the Gainsbourg school, Jane Birkin continued to develop as an artist. Today, the one that fashionistas set up as a model to follow has more than fifty years of stage career behind her. However, it is becoming more and more difficult for Jane Birkin to perform lately, in particular due to her state of health.
A stroke in August 2021
While she was to perform a concert on Thursday March 2, 2023 within the Avel-vor space in Plougastel-Daoulas, the mother of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon had to cancel this performance and the following ones after being injured. “I’m not well at all, I broke my shoulder blade and I’m in a lot of pain”she confided in the columns of the Telegram from Wednesday March 1, 2023.
As a reminder, this is not the first time that health problems have hindered the representations of the septuagenarian. In August 2021, Jane Birkin was victim of a stroke. The doctors having recommended four months of convalescence to her, the singer had been forced to cancel her commitments until the end of the same year.

An unreasonable artist
According to Jane Birkin’s entourage, this stroke was caused by a work pace too intense that the singer would impose on herself. “It is obvious that this stroke is linked to the stress generated by the tour, by all the energy she puts into defending Charlotte’s film. She came to present him in Cannes in a private plane to be able to do two tour dates. Jane is unreasonable when it comes to taking care of herself. She was never reasonable…” had then revealed a friend of the singer.
