My French teacher at High School was a huge fan and used to play his songs in lesssons.

Holy s***!

Indeed, as I said elsewhere, I can't remember a time when I was unaware of Johnny Hallyday. 

Not sure why, as I wasn't born into a Francophile household, and I never set foot in France until I was past my teens.

So he must be pretty damn famous.

He is a very very big star in all french speaking world ( France, Belgium, Canada and parts of Africa)

Likely the biggest star in France and the most famous with Zidane.

 

According to "Closer" cancer has metastazied in pancreas and liver. 

If still alive, he could be in next deathlist.

I'd say Rod Stewart might be annoyed at that comparison.

Is Johnny just a performer, or does he write any of his songs?

Oui. This is a list of song for which he composed the music (the "Parolier" column indicates the lyricists who wrote the words for him):

He's more like Billy Fury than Elvis.

Any talk about him being worth of a Deathlist place seems moot then - he wont see 2018.

Bit unfair on a dying man to suggest he meets the British PM, really.

That backs up the rumours I'd heard. So, Stage IV cancer. Ouch. The metastasis could be minor, and it sounds like it's been spotted fairly quickly, but once cancer starts spreading... At least it hasn't spread to his pancreas. Yet.

 

When he dies, and it sounds pretty grim all round to be honest, France is going to go into meltdown, isn't It? *makes mental note not to go on a day trip in that week* Will probably be the biggest death since De Gaulle (yes, even bigger than Mitterrand and Claude Francois).

Read this thread a bit belatedly, but I think everybody saying he'll die this year could be wrong. That's what we said last year about King Michael I of Romania.

 

In terms of sweepstakes, I'll go for February 3, 2018.

Ah bit Hallyday has cancer in his vital organs whereas as far as I know King Michael does not.

If he is alive in 2018, he'll be on the Deathlist AND The Drop 40.
