Judy Collins' Final Tour Begins | Virginia Beach News

Judy Collins, the legendary 87-year-old singer-songwriter, is launching her “Sweet Judy Blue Eyes” farewell tour on July 5, 2026, beginning at William & Mary’s Music Arts Center. Though billed as her last tour, she’s already joking about future gigs—after all, many artists have had multiple “finals.” With 55 albums, a Grammy for “Send in the Clowns,” and a 2023 Grammy nod for her latest album “Spellbound,” Collins still thrives on live performance, travel, and audience connection. Known for her activism in the 60s, collaborations with Leonard Cohen, and crowd-singing classics like “Danny Boy,” she’s bringing a floral, interactive finale to each show. She’s not done yet—and as long as she feels good, the stage might just be her forever home. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
