On December 5, 2017, Johnny Hallyday died following a long battle with cancer.
The rocker died in his house in Marnes-la-Coquette, surrounded by his family.
The end of an era for his fans.
However, news is opening for the work of Taulier, which is of interest to new generations... thanks to social networks.
Europe 1 has opened the TikTok application.
Johnny Hallyday was only 15 when he launched his career.
We are in 1958, the seed of star occurs in Parisian halls.
More than 60 years later, the rocker's flame has not gone out.
Indeed, five years to the day after the death of Taulier this night of December 5, 2017, young people are still interested in the work and the life of the star.

His official account, created at the end of October, already has more than 25,000 subscribers and has recorded nearly 250,000 "likes".
A tribute account that tries to seduce young people with hashtags and filters dedicated to the late Taulier.
One of the videos appeals to rapper Jul, featuring Johnny Hallyday riding a motorcycle on stage during a concert – a nod to the Marseille rapper who loves to perform on a scooter in front of the public.
Nuggets from the Johnny Hallyday archives brought up to date
For example, the pinned videos of the hashtag #JohnnyWaouh bring together his most spectacular stage appearances, such as those at the Zénith de Paris in 1984, where he descends with a giant hand.
Or his sensational arrival from a helicopter at the Stade de France in 1998. The account also broadcasts rare archives, such as this contest of cigarette smoke rings with Jimi Hendrix and rehearsals at Bercy.
