  • Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny is bringing his "Last Tour Photos" tour to France, with concerts in Marseille and Paris.
  • The tour's arrival coincides with the unveiling of a wax statue of Bad Bunny at the Grรฉvin Museum in Paris.
  • The wax statue celebrates the global popularity of Spanish-language music, according to the museum.

The fervor surrounding Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has reached France, with the artist scheduled for three concerts starting this Wednesday. His tour, titled 'Debรญ Tirar Mรกs Fotos' (I Should Have Taken More Photos), kicks off in Marseille before moving to Paris for weekend performances.

Bad Bunny's arrival in France is marked by a significant cultural event: the unveiling of his wax statue at the renowned Grรฉvin Museum in Paris. The museum highlighted the artist's role in elevating Spanish-language music to global prominence. The statue depicts Bad Bunny seated in a white plastic chair, a scene inspired by his "100% Latino y comprometido" performance during the last Super Bowl halftime show.

With sold-out tickets for his Marseille concert at the Stade-Vรฉlodrome, an estimated 60,000 attendees are expected. Following this, Bad Bunny will perform at the La Dรฉfense Arena in Paris, a venue with a capacity of around 40,000 spectators, on July 4 and 5. The concerts are strategically timed just before the Haute Couture Fashion Week begins in Paris on July 6, a period that invariably attracts a multitude of celebrities to the French capital, potentially leading to surprise guest appearances in Bad Bunny's VIP section, known as 'la casita'.

Thanks to him, Spanish-language music achieves global popularity.
