Almost a year after the death of Johnny Hallyday, Sylvie Vartan who was his wife for 15 years, released this Friday a cover album of some of his great hits. Staying at night, All the music I love, but also Blood for Blood, written by their son David Hallyday are featured on this album.
The singer is the guest of Ruth Elkrief, on the set of BFMTV, Thursday night.
You are going out a very special album entitled With you and which is signed "Sylvie", not Sylvie Vartan in which you take again the great successes of Johnny. How did you build this album? The cover is sublime …
I really like the cover. The picture is of Jean-Marie Perrier who is our childhood friend I would say, because he followed us in all our life. He knows us by heart.
In this period you were indissociable …
It's the beginning period, it's the pbadion, the discovery, the youth. So, obviously, it has a nostalgic side, especially when one of them is gone. It's very difficult to badume, we realize afterwards, when time has pbaded, it's even worse. The emptiness and the lack are felt even more urgent. At the moment I could not realize and today I find it hard to think that he is no more. What we have known together is so unique! It was under the light, we were "very young", teenagers, we were even kids! We had to learn life …
It's your story, it's the man you've loved for years, you've worked with him, you've sung with him, you're paying homage to him … is that a way of saying "he always belongs to me" "?
This is my first love, it belongs to me yes! Of course ! All this time belongs to me. Now it belongs to his children but all this time it was ours and nobody can change anything.
Some will tell you that this record, a year after his death, has a mercantile purpose …
It's been 55 years since I made records, so of course we can say that the records are mercantile but I pay tribute to him on stage and the reaction of people and absolutely poignant.
You sing in this album Blood for blood and observation tower and Live for the best which are two titles composed by David, your son. David Hallyday also begins to express himself, to leave a little of his reserve …
He too is struggling. This year has been very violent for him. He returned it in his music. I have a lot of trouble singing "blood for blood".
Are you still angry or is it better now?
Anger does not change anything. We let things happen, we trust in justice; that's all we can do. We do not have to epilogue, comment, feed the media circus.
The last record of Johnny is out, it's a huge success …
It proves how much people love him.
You listened to it?
No.
You do not want to listen to it right now?
No. I can not listen to those songs thinking it was the last time. He knew it, and that made me cold. I can not. I want to remember him in his madness, his solar side, his kindness, his wonderful smile.
You are ready to possibly bear reproaches on the subject, this disc or the disc of David which are your way of expressing you, by the music, but which are also a way of surfing on this great success of Johnny, this return of the family…. Maybe Laetitia could be angry …
It's bad to know me to say that I take advantage of Johnny. We always have one last man, one last woman … but that's not the problem. What is important is how we act. I have never benefited in any way. Artistically we shared things for sure. He always asked me to go sing with him.
Do you hope today that all of this will be better? Do you think it's possible?
It depends on justice. I think that the moral, artistic right belongs to the children who are the heirs. I would also say that David, being a musician himself, having accompanied his father, having sung with his father, was born with this heritage. It's his blood. Laura is an artist too. We can not take away what they have. They will always have it.
There was a judicial meeting this week where they asked for David and Laura- to have 75% of the income with their little sisters Jade and Joy …
It's normal.
You went to St. Barts?
No, I did not want to.
