Patrick Bruel has scrapped his entire 35-date anniversary tour after being placed under formal judicial investigation for rape and sexual assault, bringing a halt to one of France's biggest pop revivals amid protests and mounting pressure from local officials.
The 67-year-old French singer announced the decision on Instagram on Tuesday, 1 September 2026, saying he chose 'appeasement' and did not want audiences or production teams drawn into a debate that, in his view, had no place in a concert hall.
