In a recent interview with the Journal du Dimanche, David Hallyday shares his thoughts on his father in his autobiography “Meilleur album”, evoking the influence suffered and the “irreparable” after-effects after his disappearance.
Nearly six years ago, France lost a music icon, Johnny Hallyday. On December 5, 2017, this monument of French song disappeared, leaving behind an indelible musical legacy. Recently, the French musical landscape was moved by the release of “Un cri”, the last unreleased piece by Taulier, on Friday November 17, unveiled by Yodelice. At the same time, Laeticia Hallyday, Johnny’s widow, is trying to rebuild her life with her two daughters, faced with cyberbullying. But this November 19, another member of the Hallyday clan attracts attention: David Hallyday.
This Wednesday, November 22, David Hallyday releases his autobiography, entitled “Best album”. In this book, he addresses various subjects such as his musical career, his relationship with social networks, and his concern about climate change. However, it is his relationship with his father, Johnny, and the moments shared before his death that constitute the heart of his confidences.

David Hallyday: a new autobiographical chapter
In an interview with the Journal du Dimanche, David Hallyday confides in the complex relationship he had with his father. Without explicitly naming Laeticia Hallyday, he evokes difficult times, where he felt sidelined under the influence of certain people close to his father. Despite these difficult times, David emphasizes that Johnny loved his children deeply and never acted maliciously.
David Hallyday’s autobiography also reveals his pain over the loss of his father, which he describes as an “irreparable” experience. He expresses the feeling of having been deprived of the death of his father, an ordeal that he considers indelible. However, David chooses not to divulge further details about this painful period, preferring to keep the most intimate aspects of this complex and already widely publicized family history to himself.
David Hallyday’s work offers a sincere and moving look at his personal and artistic journey, colored by the joys and sorrows of a life spent in the shadow and light of a figure as emblematic as Johnny Hallyday.
