Friends And Family Rally Around Comatose French Rocker Johnny Hallyday
Posted on Sat Dec 12, 2009 11:55 AM PDT

The French community has been rocked by news of the hospitalization of Johnny Hallyday ("The French Elvis") since he was admitted to Cedar Sinai hospital in Los Angeles to fix a botched French surgery on his back.
Hallyday's wife Laeticia and daughter Jade were joined by French stars Charles Aznavour and Nikos Aliagas.
Hallyday's rep confirmed he was in an induced coma, but expects that doctors will pull him out of it sometime early next week.
Hopefully he'll pull out of it soon!

Um.. a picture of this 'unknown' victim would have helped the story yes?
Never heard of these people, don't care.
Well the picture of the "unknown" victim IS there! And it's AliAgas btw. But I understand, nobody knows them outside France!
this 'rocker' is the only one who can fill a stadium for almost one month in france,loved bu the french redneck,the doctor in Paris who made him in such bad state has been already found and beated up by some fans
It must suck to look almost exactly like a serial killer. Unfortunately, this man highly resembles Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer.
you're so ignorant ,i'm sure you don't know anything outside the usa , johnny hallyday is a big superstar in France
he didnt get a "botched ferench surgery fixed" you idiots! he was operated in France, and traveled to USA ofr the business he has in LA, when he get sick, and had to get operated again. the guy is over 60 btw.. so that explain.
btw he looks like shit and is an arse with avery low IQ. and his music suck! he always wanted to look american thus he cant speak a word of english bahahha!
Why Americans are so nasty with foreigners ? It's pathetic to have a reduced vision of the world (limited to the USA) Do you know that there are other nations/ cultures in the world ?
Oh and he cant sing at all. he shout in concert but he cant sing he has no voice and sing faulse. and he is not a rock star he is a pop icon. a low life french pop star that woudl like to semble beign a rockstar. and he cant even play guitar or any instrument thus he has been in the business for at elat 40 eyars! he could have taken both english and guitar lesson in that time oh and singing lessons too! He always sing in play back on tv! is a cheater and a rag head, who support sarkozy and escaped paying his taxes for 20 eyars by sucking politicians dicks. He had 100 palstic surgery doen on him, his face has seen more knife than a butcher shop, he thinks that loking angry and dumb al the time is smart and make him look real american and real rock! bahahha! what a butt-face!
He is about 68 years old, at least!
And if he cant found a good surgeon in Paris, France, then its the proove that th eguy cant found his butt with both hands! cause France is the country with the most doc and the best surgeons! That his fans beat up the doc is scandalous! just show what an arse this guy is, only dumb arse like him will follwo that guy and like his music!
I'm agree with you Guillaume ! not because i'm french
My apologies to the angry French here for my countrymen's ignorance. Let me clue them in:
Guys, this singer Hallyday is a big superstar in France. Think of it like he's the biggest thing in ... Texas. Size of the country and significance is about the same.
For those who don't know, France is the place we bailed out in WWII when the Germans ganked their whole country and wouldn't give it back. They used to be like us, and lead the world in science, technology, and art. At that time, everybody used to have to learn French in order to appear educated, just like people learn English now. France's also the place Lance Armstrong visits to totally own the big bike race each year.
(Speaking of which, can anyone enlighten me as to who the "French Lance Armstrong" is? This whole discussion has me wondering...)
@3:52, there are other nations/cultures in the world?! Are you sure you didn't make that up? That sounds like one of those things people in Hollywood do to trick us middle-America folk. Are you sure you're not from Hollywood?
he's not even french!!
He's from belgium!!
He's from Belgium!!!!!!
Who cares?
I'm French, and my only hope is that he dies after X mas.Don't want to hear his songs instead of Xmas songs !
For anonymous :
in case you don't know, france helped USA to get the independence. So dont talk abour the second mondial war !! it 's not the place to do it !!
It doesn' matter what you think about Jhonny. The fact is that he is a legend in france. You guys also have some artists that we find nasty
American are so selfish and stupid !! Poor guys !!
In fact he was born in france, his mother is french but his father is from belgium. The men who treated him as his son was in reality his oncle, lee halliday. That's the reason why he took this nam to the scene. He began to sing in the 50'.

Superstar ?????????
LOOOOOOL I'm french, Johnny is an old star
and we don't care !
Hard to believe that Americans can be more self-centered, provincial and ignorant than the French (of all people), but the above comments are proof.
Local ignoramus probably only speaks English or since this is Mexifornia - Spanish - judging by the grammar and spelling. Why are so many Americans so ignorant? Because they think Hollywood is the center of the earth.
no body in the US has ever heard of this guy so he is obviiously not good
ok... I'm going to have to speak up for Americans here.... judging from the 'English' in the above comments, I'm guessing more than a couple people here are from California which is not particularly known for their stellar education or world knowledge. I happen to like Johnny and have a good bit of his music and happen to like it quite a bit. And while some people here can qualify for self-centered and ignorant, I object to all of us being labeled that just as you of French origin do. Only the idiots that live in Hollywood think it's the center of the earth..... and it would probably stand to reason that the reason we've not heard much about Johnny Hallyday here is because the majority of his music is in French and it was not released or promoted here, duh... that being said, there is a good number of us that are aware of his music and that he is a HUGE celebrity superstar in France and think he deserves a good deal more respect that what has been shown here.
