Everywhere he goes, no one can resist his charm, his powerful presence.
And for Sure, you always Rock The Blues Away Man!Terrific Sky Blue Eyes of a wolf, a Blond Lion mane, well, a Magnetic presence, and a Rock’n’Roller in heart... yeah, that's the way it is!
As often said, "Legends never die", French will go on to commune with him, for a long time to come.
Many frenchies claim: "He is our king of Rock’n’Roll in France"
With almost 60 years’ career! so, Hats off Dude!Sure many people in France often laughed at him… Whether they like it or not! This Great Personality is however about a Pure Heart, a True Soul, and ever devoted to his wide audience, as an inspirational and talented man who, in his stormy life, fought courageously for Staying Alive...on many ways.
"You know sometimes I'm a rocker and sometimes I'm all a roller. I may go down sometimes but I come back to Rock’n’Roller …" Chuck Berry.
When he was a kid, or young teenager, he met Monsieur Maurice Chevalier who gave him a good tip as follows:
“if you want to get anywhere in music, be sure to make a hit when you get on stage, also when it’s time to exit stage, as for the time between, just give your Best...”Oh my, Sure he got it 😎 and till the end … even until his funeral worthy of a “King”! as evidenced by this huge farewell last Saturday that was to be expected, since about one million paying last tribute to Him, moreover under a bright blue sky all day long! Sacré Lui 😏 as a whole day of devotion in Paris. "oh well, c'est du jamais vu en France!"
He recorded about 1,000 songs, sold more than 110m discs, performed more than 100 live tours...
About 30 million spectators, more than 3200 concerts, about 696 performances at famous Parisian venues such as L'Olympia, Palais des Sports, Bercy, Zénith, Stade de France, Parc des Princes, and twice in front of the Eiffel tower.
Hey hey hey! That says it all, am I right? 😊He was able to surround himself with biggest talents from uk, usa, France mainly.
Well, to me, he remains a Great singer and showman, a nice actor.
We Hope his final days were characterized by a sense of inner well-being and restoring deep peaceful spiritual healing… and for sure, it must be!
Million Souls have spread him Sincere Love.
And no matter various music genres he and the band played all over the 58 past years.
What matters is about last memory of his Eternal "Rock’n’Roll attitude".
In France, he is considered as “The Voice” 😁Not surprising that million people here and abroad still Admire him and Love him… the same way the Rock’n’Roller truly liked his Audience as well.
He rightly deserves such Recognition.
Many frenchies often confess that He is the one who was able, on their own hard days to give them"L’envie d’avoir envie" meaning “give me the desire, the desire to feel desire” meaning:) to resist the trials of life, for staying alive! also the only one who was able “to light up their life” when listening: youtu.be/fAXjadBliTc
and I do understand them all.
Otherwise, That tells quite a lot about Frenchies state of mind… sometimes.
Finally what about his absolute Aim? the Aim of us all I suppose… just A Prayer of Love which may be summarized that way with "Hymn of Love" ; "l’hymne à l’Amour":

Last but not least...(updated infos)
However, on the day of his funeral, many people while watching Live Broadast were able to feel something went wrong, regarding Johnny's family, as with his eldest children in particular.
In fact, we found out shortly after more about family inheritance problems via any kind of medias.
But the idea is that many frenchies don't give a damn to succession! it is Private and shall Keep Silent. It's absolutely shameful to tell about succession problems into the realms of public debate.
but! typically frenchy...bah!
In France, we all know David and Laura and we do appreciate them.
The same way, we all know Laeticia Hallyday, and we do appreciate her too. Hallyday is Her name! Union of Love. She got married with Johnny 22 years ago, not 22 months ago...They have two daughters, one is Jade and the other one is Joy.
May they find Peace in their hearts and may it awaken the sense of caring for others. And to make sure that Light of remembrance burns brightly and never went out.
Now, Respect & RIP Monsieur Johnny Hallyday (Jean-Philippe Léo Smet), born 15 June 1943; died 6 December 2017. The French Rock’n’Roll attitude...
Hope you will enjoy listening to the One called "French National rocker"; as Johnny Hallyday.and don't forget to Rock'N'Roll ... Your Way!
