If Mylène Farmer was a real gay icon, she would denounce the Russian government's violent crackdown against LGBT community

Mylène Farmer is one of the most successful French singers in recording history. She's a widely followed "gay icon" amongst the LGBT community around the world. Yet, she took her most recent tour to Russia, and, whilst there, she never denounced the Russian government's crackdown on LGBT civil rights.

One of her Russian fan clubs has expressed ambivalence about whether Mylène has any responsibility to her Russian LGBT fans, describing the plea by activists to hold the Russian government accountable for the violence and discrimination as "squabbles" of Mylène's LGBT fans.

Mylene Farmer Timeless Concert Petition To Carnegie Hall

Friendly Cultural-Exchange and French Music Appreciation Petition to Carnegie Hall to Host Mylène Farmer's "Timeless" Concert in 2013.

Mylène Farmer is a famous European singer, and, in 2013, she is launching a tour called "Timeless." Let's get everybody excited, so she will bring her tour to Carnegie Hall in New York City !

Sign the Change.org petition : Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director, Carnegie Hall: Bring Mylène Farmer in Concert to Carnegie Hall in 2013

In 2013, Mylène Farmer is launching a concert tour to promote her upcoming album, "Monkey Me." Mylène Farmer has many English-speaking fans, but she has yet to bring any of her concerts to the United States. If Carnegie Hall would host a concert for Mylène Farmer, it would be a United States exclusive. Win for her fans, win for Carneige Hall !

For this album, Mylène Farmer is reuniting with her long-time composer and artistic director, Laurent Boutonnat. She is known for artistic, high-concept music videos, and her music appeals to a wide cross section of fans given her long and successful career. She has many active internet fan clubs and a growing global fan base.

We ask Carnegie Hall to invite Mylène Farmer to host a concert for her American fans !

The French superstar pop singer Mylène Farmer will release a new studio CD called "Monkey Me" in December 2013, and she will launch a tour in 2013.

European fan sites are buzzing with excitement and anticipation of Mylène's new tour.

And one U.S. fan has started a petition on Change.org addressed to the executive director of Carnegie Hall to host Mylène Farmer in 2013.

Here's a brief promotional video posted on YouTube last week :

For her "Timeless" tour, Mylène will be playing in the Bercy indoor stadium, unlike when, in 2009, she chose to play in the humongous Stade de France for two sold-out night during her tour to promote her studio album, "Point de suture." The last time Mylène performed in Bercy was in 2006, during her "Avant que l'ombre" tour.

Concert tickets for "Timeless" are moving fast !
