Au Revoir, Johnny Hallyday

Good Morning Scotland

Available for over a year

The announcement of Johnny Hallyday’s death last week at the age of 74 pitched France into a state of national mourning. A uniquely French confection, Hallyday was a cultural icon whose star power failed largely to translate beyond the country’s borders. Journalists Catherine Guilyardi and Keiron Tyler discuss the career of the Gallic Elvis.
