A true music icon is getting ready to take her final bow.
Legendary folk singer-songwriter Judy Collins has announced she’s hitting the road one last time with a farewell run she’s calling the “Sweet Judy Blue Eyes” Tour — bringing an end to a remarkable career that has spanned more than 60 years.
The 86-year-old shared the news on Instagram, revealing a tour name that longtime fans will instantly recognize. It’s a nod to the classic Crosby, Stills & Nash song “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” famously written about Collins by Stephen Stills during their relationship in the late 1960s.
And she’s not going quietly.
Collins is set to perform more than 40 shows throughout 2026, with even more dates expected to be added. The tour will also feature a rotating lineup of special guests, including Richard Thompson, Bruce Cockburn, Livingston Taylor, Elles Bailey, and The High Kings.
After wrapping up the main tour, Collins plans to continue the celebration with a special encore series, described as a final round of performances for both devoted fans and new audiences discovering her music for the first time.
The farewell tour announcement comes just as Collins prepares for another major milestone. Later this month, she will be inducted into the Folk American Roots Hall of Fame, joining a legendary class that includes icons like Aretha Franklin, Leonard Cohen, Muddy Waters, John Hammond, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
