Paul McCartney went to the grave of Johnny Hallyday, "a nice guy"

JOHNNY HALLYDAY – This is called a legendary tribute. McCartney said he visited Johnny Hallyday's grave in St. Barts in an interview with Parisian, published this Thursday, November 29. This statement comes as the musician was in concert at the Defense Arena in Nanterre on Wednesday night.

"We talked a few times," recalls Paul McCartney. "Notably a few years ago when he was very sick the first time (note: in 2009), I called him and I think he liked it."

The announcement of the death of the trustee seems to have particularly saddened two musicians who accompany McCartney, reason why they went on this island of the Antilles where the singer was buried. "His grave was very beautiful, with a guitar in bloom and full of messages from the fans," he reports. "It was very touching, Johnny was a nice guy."

During this interview, the 76-year-old singer also remembered his debut with the Beatles and his first concerts in Paris. "France has always been special for us the first time we came with John [Lennon]hitch-hiking, "he says." Then with the Beatles at the Olympia, we had been surprised to play in front of a majority of boys while elsewhere it was mostly a public girls who shouted a lot " It was also at this time that he met Sylvie Vartan, who will be the wife of Johnny Hallyday, and with whom he will remain a friend.
