“He was very unhappy”: Johnny Hallyday amazed at the behavior of Michel Sardou on vacation

A vacation that he would have done well. Michel Sardou and Johnny Hallyday are among the artists who have left their mark on French song. The two artists also maintained good relations, until one evening in 2004. Indeed, during a concert in Brussels, the interpreter of Connemara Lakes had made very shocking remarks referring to the last two daughters of the rocker, Jade and Joy. “Now that he has a chalet in Gstaad, Hallyday will be able to put his Vietcong on skis“, he dropped in front of the fans who came to applaud him.

Statements that had deeply hurt Johnny Hallyday, who then decided to cut ties with Michel Sardou. A radical decision which, however, followed years of tumultuous relationship, as revealed Jean-Jacques Standing in his book The Color of Ghostspublished this Wednesday, October 26 by Talents editions.

“Johnny was very unhappy with the way Sardou had received him”

In his book, the husband of Chantal Goya thus evokes holidays that occurred long before the controversy relating to the daughters of Taulier. Michel Sardou had indeed invited Johnny Hallyday and his wife Laeticia to come and spend some time in his villa located in Corsica. But nothing ultimately went as planned for the rocker and his wife. “At six o’clock in the evening, he went to bed, claiming that he slept very early when he was on vacation”would thus have entrusted the interpreter ofLight the fire to Jean-Jacques Debout. And to add:Me, I was getting fucked up so we took a taxi to have dinner at the restaurant and find a club. He refused to comer!”. Annoyed by the attitude of his host, Johnny Hallyday would then have compared to a “old” and would have indicated that he did not wish to live that kind of life. “Johnny was very unhappy with the way Sardou had received him”concludes Jean-Jacques Debout in his book.

Jean-Jacques Debout fires red balls at Laeticia Hallyday

In this work, the author-composer is also very criticism of the wife of his late friend, Laëticia Hallyday. “Unfortunately, I stopped seeing Johnny Hallyday regularly after his marriage to Laeticia in 1996.. I wondered what he found in this young woman, and sometimes I wondered how he was coping with it. He told me one day that she was the only woman to take care of him in his life. He no longer believed in artists’ marriages“, he wrote in particular. According to Jean-Jacques Debout, Johnny Hallyday had quite simply “need” of this companion, after having experienced several failures during her previous unions with Sylvie Vartan, Nathalie Baye or Adeline Blondieau.
