Shortly after the death of Johnny Hallyday, Jean-Baptiste Guégan warmed the hearts of his many admirers by performing his hits and bringing the legendary artist back to life. The success was immediate, he performed in large venues and released a series of albums. But if he could collect up to 70,000 euros for concerts, he only pocketed 700. For two years, he slept in small hotel rooms, when others would stay in large suites.
The journalist from Figaro summary : “in the period between his victory at M6 and the pandemic, he was defenseless and was masterfully defrauded by show biz sharks”. After the pandemic, the 40-year-old rocker decided to make a clean slate and better surround himself with a trusted team.
