Nina Hagen postpones France shows due to infection

German punk pioneer Nina Hagen, who recently celebrated her 60th birthday, has called off a series of shows in France due to a dental infection. The singer is suffering a "serious infection that leaves her physically unable to make the dates scheduled in March," said a message from a promoter of one of the shows in southwestern France. On March 11, Hagen celebrated her 60th birthday with friends and family at the Berliner Ensemble, the theatre founded by playwright Bertolt Brecht in East Berlin after World War II.
