A new video by David Hallyday for Ma dernière lettre, a song that pays tribute to his father.
Johnny Hallyday died just under a year ago after a long illness. A final album by Johnny, recorded in the months before his death, was released just weeks ago and has already sold over a million copies in France.
David Hallyday unveiled the song at the NRJ Music awards in Cannes at the weekend, an event that was broadcast on TF1.
The video was directed by David Hallyday's sister, Laura Smet. The wolf with blue eyes might just be a metaphor for old Johnny himself.
According to the celebrity press, there's been a lot of bad blood between Hallyday's older children and his widow, mixed opinions among his family, friends ad colleagues over his new album and how best his legacy can be remembered.
How much of this is true or not is uncertain. Johnny was the subject of much overheated speculation from the francophone tabloids when he was alive, throughout his long career, and that hasn't stopped since his passing.
But I reckon the single and video is something that Johnny himself would probably approve of.
David Hallyday's new album, J 'ai quelque chose à vous dire is released on December 7.
