Don't expect any Johnny Hallyday-esque funeral. too bad. even without charlie hebdo attack she wouldn't have same funeral than Johnny. Johhny was a unique figure in France, and was by far more popular and famous than France Gall (lot of young people don't know her). I see no people in France have same funeral than him ( even Depardieu, Bardot and Zidane) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, the usual rags are commenting that a response from Sanson is very much noticeable by its absence. I do hope Vero is just keeping a respectful distance and silence rather than being a bitch.
