Johnny Hallyday

Johnny Hallyday (born Jean-Philippe Smet; 15 June 1943) is a French[1] singer and actor.[2] An icon in the French-speaking world since the beginning of his career, he was considered by some[3] to have been the French Elvis Presley. His father, Léon Smet (1908–1989), was Belgian, his mother Huguette Clerc (1920–2007) was French; the young Hallyday took his stage name from his aunt's husband, American artist Lee Halliday (also a pseudonym).

Hallyday, whose music career has spanned a half-century, is one of France's biggest stars. He has completed 100 tours, had 18 platinum albums, and sold more than 110 million records[4]. Hallyday announced his retirement from performing on 3 December 2007 at the age of 64,[5] after a farewell tour.
