2026 Forever Young’s Farewell Tour
Dear Friends and Fans,
After more than a decade of harmonies, heartbeats, and unforgettable performances under the spotlight, we are writing to share bittersweet news:
2026 will be our final year performing together.
When we first stepped onto a stage all those years ago, we never imagined the journey that awaited us. Every note we’ve sung has been lifted by your applause, your dancing feet, and your voices joining ours.
Music has taken us to places we never dreamed of, but more importantly, it has brought us to you. For that, we are forever grateful.
In 2026, we’ll embark on a Farewell Tour—a celebration of the songs that brought us together and the memories we’ve made along the way. It’s not just a goodbye; it’s a thank you. A thank you for the decades of devotion, for keeping Doo Wop alive in your hearts, and for making our music part of your lives.
This final tour is not a goodbye to the music but it’s a chance to celebrate everything we have built together.
We will still be accepting any bookings for clubs or private events for 2026, contact Donna Francis at 919-602-5062 or email: Forever.young.doowop@gmail.com.
