Singer Zemfira has changed her residence, moving from Paris to London, and has taken a break from concert activities until May 2026. Fans are discussing possible reasons — from domestic circumstances to career limitations.
Relocation and New Living Conditions
Zemfira lived in Paris on Boulevard Saint-Denis — a historic area with 19th-century architecture, theaters, and expensive restaurants. In recent years, the area has become unsafe: the mix of tourist streets, domestic conflicts, and an increase in criminal cases have made staying there less comfortable. The artist prefers silence and focus for her creativity, so moving to London became a logical decision.
London offers more privacy, strict urban order, and the opportunity to work on music peacefully. Renata Litvinova moved to the UK with Zemfira. Both choose London as a space for a creative reboot.
Pause in Concert Activity
Zemfira is suspending her tours until May 2026. This is due to her relocation, adaptation to a new place, and the restrictions imposed by her status as a "foreign agent" in Russia. Performances in the CIS countries have become difficult due to visa and legal restrictions, and incidents with concerts in the summer of 2025 show how vulnerable the artist's schedule has become.
The pause will allow Zemfira to focus on her creativity in London, prepare new projects, and contemplate her next steps in her career.
Prospects
The silence and cultural atmosphere of London create conditions for searching for a new sound and format of communication with the audience, free from geopolitical restrictions. It is still unknown whether this will result in a new album or another creative project, but history shows that Zemfira's silence almost always precedes a loud return to the stage.
