New surprise for the students of Star Academy. This Wednesday, December 20, 2023, just before taking over one of Johnny Hallyday, the candidates were able to meet his widow, Laeticia Hallyday.
The surprises continue within the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. If the students receive surprise visits from artists almost daily, they recently had the chance to go to the Élysée where they met Brigitte Macron before giving a concert for a handful of lucky children. This Wednesday, December 20, 2023, viewers watching the live star Academy were able to discover the images of their meeting with Laeticia Hallyday !
A few moments before setting out to perform a song by Johnny Hallyday all together, some of the students, namely Djebril, Pierre, Axel and Julien were rehearsing a song by the famous rocker in the company of Lucie Bernardoni, when they saw Michael Goldman and the singer’s widow arriving in the distance.“Is it Laeticia Hallyday? Wow!”, “Oh, I’m dying”, “I’m going to destroy the song” they then said, stressed at meeting such a figure.

Once arrived in the rehearsal room, Laeticia Hallyday did not fail to encourage and reassure them with her legendary gentleness. “It’s me who is very moved to meet you… I spent a week with you, watching you from Los Angeles. I feel like I already know you, after spending a week with you, every day” she said.
An emotional sequence followed as the candidates presented the mother of Jade and Joy Hallyday with the gold disc of Johnny’s new posthumous single, A shout. Enough to upset the pretty blonde. “It touches me so much… Wow! That means we’re gold! What a great gift, it’s the last song he recorded.” she said very moved.
We take note that Laeticia Hallyday, who lives in Los Angeles, has been in Paris for a few weeks to promote the exhibition organized in honor of her late husband. After being presented in Brussels in 2022, Johnny Hallyday the Exhibition arrives at the Palais des Expositions at Porte de Versailles on December 22. Fans of the rocker will have until June 19 to go there and discover the work of Johnny Hallyday on nearly 3,000 square meters of space, all via a unique immersive experience.
