Barbra teases "major announcement" for Wednesday, April 30

In her social media posts Thursday night, thanking fans for remembering her 83rd birthday, Barbra Streisand teased fans with a 'major announcement' coming on April 30. What, pray tell, can this big announcement be ?

The odds among fans favor the announcement will be she's releasing her long-awaited new studio album in the fall (most likely, at 83, the last album she'll be recording).

Many are saying it will be about her multi-part documentary and when it will be released.

Others are saying she's announcing another concert tour for this summer / the end of the year (doubtful, at 83).

Some are hoping a new movie - which will bookend her movie career (highly doubtful).

I think she'll announce she's closing her basement mall - too much competition from Amazon have driven tenants out.

I also think she may be announcing a 'special edition' of 'The Broadway Album' re-release to commemorate the 40th Anniversary in November.

Since she hinted about the major announcement” on a post featuring her reading a book to her young grandkids, I’ll guess that she’s written a children’s book.

R10 that was my very first thought ! I think we're on to something.

Maybe it's 'Barbra the Aardvark' - a book about an aardvark that felt homely throughout her childhood, and became a major star at 21 ?

R16 If that's the case, Barbra has held out the longest. Just about every celebrity - young and old - has written a children's book by 2025.

If it's a children's story it will be about an unloved and lonely--but talented--little girl, whose inner beauty is unrecognized by her mother and whose talent is stolen by her sister. But the little girl wins out over both, and forgives them.

She did an episode of 'Finding Your Roots', and found out her real daddy is Count Basie, not Emanuel Streisand! She will now be known as Barbra Basie. It's still a soft 's' like 'sand on the beach'. So don't call her Barbra Bayzee.

[quote]most likely, at 83, the last album she'll be recording

This makes me very sad. I remember finding her old albums when I was a teenager, and thinking to myself, how sad it would be when she becomes too old to record anymore. It didn't seem possible, at the time, that her glorious voice would ever disappear. Well, that day is finally here.

We're close to losing all the greats--Barbra, Liza, Bette, Diana, Dionne, Linda. It takes your breath away to think about it. We've already lost Donna, Whitney and Olivia. Sigh.
