Jean-Philippe Léo Smet (French pronunciation: ​[ʒɑ̃filip leo smɛt], 15 June 1943 – 5 December 2017), better known by his stage name Johnny Hallyday, was a French[1][2][3]rock and roll and pop singer and actor,[4] credited for having brought rock and roll to France.


During a career spanning 57 years, he released 79 albums and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, mainly in the French-speaking world,[5] making him one of the best-selling artists in France and in the world.[6] He won 5 diamond albums, 40 golden albums, 22 platinum albums and 10 Music Victories.[7] He sang nearly 1,154 songs[8] and performed 540 duets with 187 artists. Credited for his strong voice and his spectacular shows, he sometimes arrived by entering a stadium through the crowd and one time by jumping from a helicopter above the Stade de France, where he has performed 9 times. Among his 3,257 shows completed in 187 tours, the most memorable were at Parc des Princes in 1993, at the Stade de France in 1998 (just after France's win in the Football World Cup) and at the Eiffel Tower in 2000, which are all regarded as record-breaking performances in terms of ticket sales for a French artist.[citation needed] A million spectators gathered to see his performance at the Eiffel Tower, joined by 9 million more watching on TV.


Usually working with the best French artists and musicians of his time, he most notably collaborated with Charles Aznavour, Michel Berger and Jean-Jacques Goldman, while his shows were produced by Jean-Claude Camus, considered to be one of the greatest producers in France.


Hugely popular in France, he was usually referred to as simply "Johnny" and seen as a "national monument" (the only singer since Edith Piaf) and a part of the French cultural legacy. His exceptional longevity in public life made him a familiar figure for four generations and a symbol of the Thirty Glorious Years when he emerged in 1960. More than 2,500 magazine covers and 190 books have been dedicated to him during his lifetime. His personal life has been greatly exposed to the public, making him one of the persons most widely covered by the media in France along with Charles de Gaulle, Dalida and Brigitte Bardot during the 1960s. His death from cancer in 2017 was followed by a "popular tribute" during which a million people attended the procession and 15 million others watched the ceremony on TV. However, he remained largely unknown in the English-speaking world, where he was dubbed "the biggest rock star you've never heard of" and introduced as the French version of Elvis Presley.[5]

Early life


Jean-Philippe Smet was born in Paris on 15 June 1943 to a Belgian father, Léon Smet,[9] and a French mother, Huguette Eugénie Pierrette Clerc. Léon Smet, who worked as a nightclub performer, left his wife and son a few months later. Huguette Clerc then started a modeling career, which left her with little time to care for her son.[10] Hallyday grew up with his aunt, Hélène Mar,[11] and took his stage name from a cousin-in-law from Oklahoma who performed as Lee Halliday. The latter called Smet "Johnny" and became a father figure, introducing him to American music.[12]



Career


Influenced by Elvis Presley and the 1950s rock n' roll revolution, Hallyday became known for singing rock 'n' roll in French. His debut single, "Laisse les filles" was released on the Vogue label in March 1960.[13] His first album, Hello Johnny, was released in 1960.[14] In 1961 his cover of "Let's Twist Again" sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc.[15] It topped almost every European chart, although the track did not appear in the UK Singles Chart.[16] He appeared on the American The Ed Sullivan Show with American singing star Connie Francis in a show that was taped at the Moulin Rouge nightclub in Paris. He also staged many appearances in the Paris Olympia under the management of Bruno Coquatrix. For their first concert, The Jimi Hendrix Experience opened for Johnny Hallyday in Nancy on 14 October 1966. Film footage, also from October 1966, exists of Hallyday partying with Hendrix, his manager Chas Chandler and others.[17] He also socialised with Keith Richards and Bob Dylan.[18]




Hallyday in 1965


At the end of the 1960s, Hallyday made a string of albums with Mick Jones (who wrote "Johnny, my dear Friend and Inspiration throughout the years. I will miss you terribly. You will live on in my everlasting memories")[19][20] and Tommy Brown as musical directors, and Big Jim Sullivan, Bobby Graham and Jimmy Page as session musicians. These are Jeune homme, Rivière... Ouvre ton lit (aka Je suis né dans la rue) and Vie. On Je suis né dans la rue, Hallyday also hired both Peter Frampton and the Small Faces. Amongst their contributions are the songs "Amen (Bang Bang)", "Reclamation (News Report)", and "Regarde pour moi (What You Will)", which are variations of Small Faces and Humble Pie (Frampton's band) songs—tracks and they all play on the album. Often forgotten is Hallyday's non-LP single and EP track "Que je t'aime" from the same sessions.[21] By 1969 alone, his record sales exceeded twelve million units.[15]


One of Hallyday's later concerts, 100% Johnny: Live à la tour Eiffel in 2000, attracted an audience of 500,000 and 9.5 million television viewers (the show was broadcast live on French TV).[4] In December 2005, Hallyday had his third number-one single on the French SNEP singles chart since its establishment in 1984,[22] "Mon plus beau Noël" (after "Tous ensemble" and "Marie"), dedicated to his adopted daughter Jade.[23] Shortly before announcing his retirement from touring in 2007, he released a blues-flavored album, Le Cœur d'un homme. In addition to the lead single "Always", Le Cœur d'un homme features "T'aimer si mal", a duet with blues musician Taj Mahal and "I Am the Blues", an English-language song (uncharacteristically for Hallyday) written by U2's lead singer Bono.[24] His next album, Ça ne finira jamais, released in 2008,[25] another No. 1 on the French album chart, and its lead single, "Ça n'finira jamais", also reached No. 1.[26] Hallyday's album Tour 66: Stade de France 2009 was a live set recorded at Stade de France during his farewell tour.[27] In 2011 Hallyday released album Jamais seul, recorded with Matthieu Chedid, and started touring again. In 2012 he gave concerts in different countries, including Russia, and released the album L'Attente. Later Hallyday released two live albums, On Stage and Born Rocker Tour (a recording of his 70th anniversary concerts in Bercy and Theatre de Paris). Albums named Rester Vivant and De L'Amour were released in 2014 and 2015 respectively. In 2015-2016 Hallyday had the Rester Vivant Tour. A concert in Brussels was released as a live album in 2016.

Hallyday's first wife, Sylvie Vartan, in 1966




Hallyday's fourth and final wife, Læticia Boudou, in 2009





Marriages and children


Hallyday was married five times—including twice to the same woman—with the first four marriages ending in divorce. His last marriage was his longest, lasting twenty-one years.


His first marriage was to French singer Sylvie Vartan, lasting fifteen years from 1965 to 1980.[28] Their son David was born in 1966. His second marriage to Babeth Étienne was his shortest, lasting for 65 days.[29] Hallyday then had a four-year relationship with French actress Nathalie Baye. Their daughter Laura was born in 1983.[30] His third and fourth marriages were to the same woman, Adeline Blondieau, from 1990 to 1992, and from 1994 to 1995.[31] Inaugurated by Nicolas Sarkozy his fifth and final marriage was to Læticia Boudou from 1996 until his death. The couple adopted a girl from Vietnam: Jade Odette Désirée, born 3 August 2004 (formerly Bùi Thị Hoà), in November 2004.[32]



Residence


Hallyday, who resided in Los Angeles, owned a chalet in Gstaad, Switzerland, from 2006 to 2015 to avoid the high tax rate imposed by the French government.[12][33] Hallyday said that he would have moved his residency back to France if it changed its tax laws.[34] In January 2014, Hallyday said that his current residence was in the United States after an investigation by a Swiss journalist showed that Hallyday did not spend enough time in Gstaad to qualify as a resident.[35] One of his favorite leisure activities was riding his Harley-Davidson on long trips through the California desert, staying in small motels along the way.[36]



Illness and death


In July 2009, Hallyday was diagnosed with colon cancer,[37] and underwent surgery. On 26 November 2009,[38] Hallyday underwent surgery in Paris to repair a herniated disc. He suffered complications and was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Doctors announced that they had put Hallyday into a medically-induced coma so they could repair lesions that had formed as a result of the surgery, and to relieve his pain. On 17 December 2009, Hallyday and his wife started legal proceedings against Dr. Stephane Delajoux, who had performed the original surgery.[39] The conflict was resolved in February 2012 following Delajoux's vindication by medical investigators.[40]


Hallyday died of lung cancer at 10.10pm on 5 December 2017[41] in Marnes-la-Coquette, near Paris, at the age of 74.[42][12][43][44] French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute, saying he "transcended generations and is etched in the memory of the French people".[45] On 9 December, his funeral was held in Paris; 800,000 lined the Champs-Élysées as his body was taken to the Madeleine Church and the service was attended by Macron and two of his predecessors.[46] He was buried on the French Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy on 11 December 2017.[47]


The day after his death, the English singer Birdy said on Instagram: "So sad to hear that Johnny Hallyday has passed. It was a real honour and a joy to have sung with him. I was 17 and very nervous and he was so sweet to me."[48] Birdy and Hallyday had performed "L'Idole Des Jeunes" together on Le grand show.


In February 2018 his two oldest children, David and Laura, announced that they were contesting his will, which left his entire estate to his last wife Laeticia and their two adopted children. The will was drafted in California, and their lawyers contend that it violates French laws which prevent children from being disinherited.[49]



Legacy


Hallyday was once called "the French Elvis".[50][51] The Daily Beast described Hallyday as, "a hip swiveling, leather-clad Gallic answer to Elvis Presley who shook up his home country’s music scene with American-style rock-n-roll and bad-boy antics."[52] He remained largely unknown outside the Francophone world and was sometimes described as "the biggest rock star you've never heard of" in English-speaking countries.[36][53][54] He was made Chevalier (Knight) of the Legion of Honour in 1997[55] and Officer of the Order of the Crown (Belgium) in 2001.[56]

Carrot

Root vegetable, usually orange in color This article is about the cultivated vegetable. For other uses, see Carrot (disambiguation). Carrot Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Clade : Angiosperms Clade : Eudicots Clade : Asterids Order: Apiales Family: Apiaceae Genus: Daucus Species: D. carota Subspecies: D. c. subsp. sativus Trinomial name Daucus carota subsp. sativus (Hoffm.) Schübl. & G. Martens The carrot ( Daucus carota subsp. sativus ) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist.
