ON THE JDD
Sunday, at the Olympia in Paris, a great tribute will take place for Johnny Hallyday, almost two years after the death of this legend of French music. In an interview with the "Journal du Dimanche", Laeticia Hallyday tells the scenes of this great tribute. "This event is there to put the music back in the center, because his songs are his memory, Universal and Yvan Cassar have done a very nice job with the symphonic album Johnny , like Warner with the Vieilles Canailles live", says Laetitia Hallyday.
Unpublished archives will be broadcast to tell the story of the singer. They belong to Michel Jankielewicz, a loyal Johnny. "A year ago, after the release of the album My country is love , Michel Jankielewicz contacted me with an idea because for eighteen years, he filmed the life and career of Johnny on a daily basis, "she explains in the columns of the JDD. She continues: "The story of Johnny with the Olympia is beautiful, this documentary will retrace it, with unpublished archives."
A tribute ... and a museum?
A re-enactment of Johnny's lodge during his visit to Olympia in 2000 is also planned. There will be his makeup case, bathrobe and box shoes as well as his three outfits. So much so that it gives Laeticia ideas. She "will love [t]" that a museum in honor of the singer is born. "I have the content, and if Paris would ever give it a place, so fans could go out and listen to their music, see and touch things?" She asks.
"Many places bear its mark"
She says: "I respected my husband's wish to be buried in St. Barth, but it is very far away.There are many places in Paris that bear his mark, from Olympia to Bercy. And Trinity Square, of course, because that's where it all started for him, about ten years ago, when he was playing at Théâtre Édouard-VII, he took me there. proud to show me his street, to tell me that it was there that he met Eddy Mitchell, that they exchanged records of Elvis Presley, this district was his anchorage ".
Thursday, December 5, 2019, Johnny Hallyday will have left us for 2 years. On this date, Laeticia Hallyday will be "in St. Barts, for a great ceremony with the fans, like last year".
