Johnny Hallyday - currently on tour across France at the moment - has recorded a live private concert and interview for Belgian French speaking channel Bel RTL. A clip of his performance at the Paris studio has been put out by the TV company ahead of its broadcast on June 12, just day's ahead of Johnny's 68th birthday.
The show was filmed on May 30, with an audience of 100 in the studio.
During the show he was interviewed, and played a couple of his hits "La Musique que j'aime", "Oh Jolie Sarah", "Gabrielle", "Fils de Personne" and "Tes Tendres Années" as well as two songs from his latest album "Jamais Seul", "La Douceur de Vivre" and "Guitar Hero"
Johnny sounds in fine voice for a man whose obituaries were all but published not so long ago. The serious health problems that seemed to herald the final act of a remarkable life are apparently behind him.
Johnny's also been in in the headlines for voicing his support for Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Johnny referring to the time he was accused of rape at a party in 2001. The charges brought about a year later, were finally dropped and he was cleared when the judge found that there was no evidence of a crime.
Speaking to TV Magazine, he said: "I was accused of rape, too. It's a story that pursued me and my family for two years! It was unfortunate for me, my wife and children before the lies of my accuser came out. Honestly, I think we went through a terrible..."
From September he's appearing on stage in Paris at the Théâtre Edouard VII in a play, Le Paradis sur terre, by Tennessee Williams.
He is also reported to be featuring in a film - Sleight of Hand - alongside Mel Gibson, Kiefer Sutherland and Gérard Depardieu. The film is a Paris-set tale of a team of burglars who inadvertently steal a rare gold coin belonging to a gangster.
Meanwhile, next year also sees a major tour over France, and there have already been over 100,000 tickets sold for the shows. Good to see Johnny going from strength to strength.
