Timeless 2013
Timeless 2013 is the sixth live album by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer. It was released on December 9, 2013 in France by Polydor Records. The album documents the Timeless tour's performances at the Halle Tony Garnier in Lyon, France. A concert film directed by François Hanss was screened in more than one hundred cinemas across France, Belgium and Switzerland on 27 March, 2014. [2] The film was released on DVD and Blu-Ray on 16 May, 2014. The album does not contain "Elle a dit", "Je te dis tout" and "Et pourtant..." which caused anger among Farmer's fans.[3]
Background
Three days before the launch of the Timeless Tour, Francois Hanss confirmed on Twitter that the shows in Lyon, France will be filmed for a future concert film.[4] Rumors began to surface about a possible release date for a live album.[5] French record stores received pre-order forms for the album, thus confirming the release date of the album for December 9, 2013.[6] On October 30, 2013, Polydor Records officially announced the title and tracklisting for Timeless 2013 on their Facebook page. The cover was also revealed, along with several editions of the album including a limited edition box set, a double CD edition and a triple vinyl set.[7]
