Rocker Johnny Hallyday has passed away for four years now. On December 5, 2017, the singer died at the age of 74 in his villa in Marnes-la-Coquette, leaving behind a torn family. After his tragic disappearance, his widow Laeticia and his two first children Laura and David declared war on each other. The reason: the legacy left by Johnny Hallyday. An over-mediatized war that lasted several years, but which is now over. While Laura Smet and Laeticia Hallyday reached an amicable agreement, David decided to give up.
Since the death of Johnny Hallyday, tributes have been raining down. Most of them are organized by his widow Laeticia. Which is not to everyone’s taste. For several weeks, artists have stepped up to the plate and smashed Laeticia Hallyday while the latter recently inaugurated a statue bearing the likeness of Johnny and organized a concert-event in the presence of 200 artists at the AccorHotels Arena. Singer Eddy Mitchell has indeed made it known that he did not give a damn about the initiatives of Laeticia Hallyday, which he even finds “quite morbid”. “It does not interest me absolutely not (…) They do what they want. Soon they will put it with a feather in the ass hanging anywhere … I do not care”, also declared Eddy Mitchell in “Sept à Huit” on TF1.
An opinion shared by the actor Michel Leeb. “The tributes constantly, it’s tiring. I quite agree with Eddy on this, it’s something quite morbid, it’s morbid,” said Michel Leeb. As you might expect, Johnny’s close entourage decided to pay tribute to him again on December 5, 2021, four years to the day after his death.
On this occasion, Laeticia Hallyday took control of her Instagram account to post an intimate video of the singer. On the images, we can see the very accomplice couple dancing to the song “Waiting My Life” by Jehro. In legend, the one who now shares the life of director Jalil Lespert does not hide her emotion: “Four years already which seem to me a century, an eternity … We miss more than anything and today is not a day ordinary but the days without him are rare … Rare because in truth we live every moment together. We lack more than words because they will never be strong enough to express the still strong pain of his absence. we have to look at the sky there will be a star that will shine brighter than the others … He is not far, he watches, he protects us … I love you forever “. A pretty statement.
