Health problems force Cesaria Evora to retire
Renowned singer Cesaria Evora has retired from music for health reasons, international media outlets inform. The Guardian writes in an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde she said: "I'm sorry, but now I have to rest. I have no energy. I infinitely regret having had to absent myself because of illness – I would have liked to keep giving pleasure to those who've followed me so long."
Evora’s Paris doctors told her she had to cancel her tour, so Cesária and her producer and manager Jose da Silva decided to end her career, and give up this wandering life that has taken her to the four corners of the world. Evora has suffered health problems for several years, and had open-heart surgery in May last year following a heart attack.
Cesari Evora was expected to arrive in Armenia on September 29 and to have concert in Opera and Ballet Theatre, but the concert has been canceled because of her illness.
