At 87 years old, Judy Collins is currently on a tour she describes as "a moment in time" rather than a final goodbye. The 50-date "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes" tour, named after a Stephen Stills song written for her, will continue through next spring. Collins clarified that the tour is "an opportunity for me to do some duets with people that I haven't worked with before."
She noted that Stephen Stills joined her for a duet in 2025, a poignant moment following the end-of-2024 death of her husband, Louis Nelson. Collins mentioned that Stills and Nelson were good friends. The legendary singer compares herself to Betty White, highlighting that many artists continue working well into their later decades because they love to do so.
Beyond her tour, Collins remains deeply engaged in her creative pursuits. She is working on a memoir titled "The Voice: Singing Through the Storm." Additionally, she is composing music for an upcoming Broadway play and is also preparing to release a duets album, underscoring her continuous passion for her work.
