"Wealth, little cash and lots of debt". This, according to Laeticia Hallyday, is what Johnny Hallyday's legacy comes down to.

“I'm going to have to pay off the tax debt. It's my duty, "said the widow of the rockstar, who died in December 2017, in a river interview to be published this Thursday in Paris Match.

"On the figures, there were a lot of fantasies," adds the singer's wife, without denying the amount advanced by the weekly of a tax debt of 34 million euros.

The lawyer of Laeticia Hallyday had announced on July 3 the conclusion of a “final agreement” between the widow of Johnny and Laura Smet, who had first seized the justice to contest the will of his father drawn up in the United States, which disinherited her and her brother David. The agreement, the details of which have not been released, has ended more than two years of court proceedings.

According to Paris Match, Laeticia Hallyday keeps "the houses and the debts" and the singer's eldest daughter "receives a few million euros and symbolic objects that belonged to her father".

"No peace is possible," says Laura Smet

For her part, Laura Smet, refusing to detail the agreement on the inheritance but decided "to re-establish certain truths", confided on RTL Wednesday evening "that there will never be [it] possible peace [with her ex-mother-in-law] ".

"She crossed that line, which is to prevent us from saying goodbye to our father," added the singer's daughter.

In Paris Match, Laeticia ensures that "we have found a form of appeasement", presenting herself as "the guardian of Johnny's memory" by supervising the use of his work and the pursuit of the projects initiated by the star. "The film on his last road trip on a motorcycle, with his friends, a few months before his death, will be released in November," she said.
