Johnny Hallyday

Recommended Posts

He attended Mireille Darc's funeral and did not look too bad.

Clock is ticking, however.

 

I wish him all the best for the next... 43 days.

Well, that means another sub will have to take place on multiple teams...

Had suspected he wouldn't make the start line. Things felt very quiet after he left the hospital, and they set up a mini hospital at his home, or something. RIP.

A little bit of a hint, while I am planning to go more in depth on people’s obits in the deathrace next year, he still would’ve been on my team in that dead pool had he made the starting line...

A bit surprised at this. I thought Johnny would make it to 2018. Has France gone into shutdown and national mourning yet?

 

Repose en paix.

Aye, when a lung cancer patients goes into hospital in November for respiratory issues, their chances of making the list become very low indeed.

Pure turbo-boosted French frog-eating demented idiocy.

Looking at the Le Figaro website it only has Johnny Hallyday news. Trump could nuke North Korea and it would hardly be noticed. It is truly France's Diana moment.

Putain! :angry:

He would have made such a perfect joker for my French theme team 2018.

Pretty sure he'd have been a 10 pointer in the DDP next year if he'd lived a bit longer.

incredible funeral today.

 

thousand and thousand people on Champs Elysée today (likely some million on TV) , more than 700 bikers to escort the coffin, some concert.

've never seen that in my life.

Yes, absolutely incredible scenes. A state funeral in all but name, and Johnny was loved far more than any politician will ever be.

 

It was good for celeb spotting/potential deadpooling too. I was quite surprised Michel Drucker was sat so far back when Muriel Robin was in the third row. Despite being 89, Line Renaud looks like she'll outlive every single person who attended - she's in fine fettle indeed - and her speech was probably the most touching of all. 

 

Oh FFS, the BBC website have a picture of Jean-Louis Aubert down as merely just one of his musicians. They know nothing. Argh.

yes incredible is the right word. 1st time in my life I see that in my country. 1 million people on the street, 11 milllion at tv.

French said farewell to Johnny Yesterday.

 

Are you french ? How you know Muriel Robin and Drucker ? I don't think they are famous in UK.

If you ever heard me speak French you would know I'm English! 

 

Nah, Francophile who listens to a lot of French music and watches too much French TV for her own good. You are right Drucker is not known in the UK. Nor is Muriel Robin, though she is perhaps slightly more known due to being in Les Visiteurs 2; and the superb L'empoisonneuse has been on BBC4 a couple of times. She's definitely not known here as a comedienne, though I've liked what I've seen of her act that I've understood.
