The 87-year-old folk legend is hitting the road one last time with a farewell tour.
Judy Collins is saying goodbye to live performance.
The 87-year-old singer-songwriter is bidding farewell to the concert stage with a farewell tour, according to a CNN report by Rick Damigella. The announcement marks the end of a performing career that has spanned more than six decades.
Collins rose to prominence in the 1960s as a key figure in the American folk revival, known for her crystalline soprano and her gift for interpreting the work of other songwriters. Her 1967 recording of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides, Now” became a defining version of the song, and her 1970 hit “Both Sides, Now” won her a Grammy. She also scored a Top 10 hit with her rendition of Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns” in 1975.
Beyond her own recordings, Collins is remembered for introducing audiences to songwriters who would go on to define a generation. She recorded early versions of songs by Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, helping bring their work to a wider public.
Her farewell tour gives longtime fans a final opportunity to see a performer whose career has bridged the folk boom, the singer-songwriter era and beyond.
Details on tour dates and cities have not been fully announced, but the farewell run will take Collins across the country for a final series of performances.
