Mireille Mathieu performs in Belarus for first time

10 марта 2014
By Inna Pilevich: Legendary French singer Mireille Mathieu gave her first-ever concert at the Palace of the Republic in Minsk. She arrived in the Belarusian capital yesterday, accompanied by her mother and a team of professionals - backing vocalists, instrumentalists and managers. By the way, despite her high status and immense popularity, Mireille Mathieu turned out to be a simple person. Her tour rider includes a large mirror with lights, an iron and an ironing board.

The singer's first concert in Belarus was sold out within a few months. Mireille Mathieu became famous at the age of 19. Her albums sold over 100 million copies worldwide, and her repertoire consists of about 1,000 songs, including Russian-language hits Dark Eyes and Moscow Nights. Incidentally, Mathieu's signature haircut, which the singer has not changed throughout his career, used to be very popular in the Soviet Union.
