Johnny Halliday RIP. Passed away after struggle with lung cancer. Absolutely massive over en France, sold a ridiculous amount of records, and starred in a film I really liked, l'homme du train'.

Apparently they're expecting over a million people to turn out for his funeral.
Today's TV schedules were all changed to show tribute programmes, concerts, etc.
Mental!

I'm working/living in Strasbourg and was given a word of advice not to mention it to colleagues as for some people here it's Princess Diana x 10!

I believe he sold over 100 million records. I must confess I had never heard of him, obviously massive in France. RIP

A couple of videos from his funeral today. 700 bikers (not including the police) accompanied the hearse.
