Five years since Johnny Hallyday left us. But the memory of the owner is still very present, and in particular on the side of the Accor Arena, the former Palais omnisports de Paris-Bercy where the favorite French rocker still holds the record for the number of shows offered (101, gathered in a giant box available of Universal).
“Johnny has helped give the room a name,” he tells BFMTV. John Claudius Camus, his former producer. “Bercy, he stayed there for three weeks. Now, it’s an event when someone stays for two, three days. It makes me smile.” At each concert she tried to renew herself: “Her obsession with him was how he was going to enter.”
Fans will be able to find the heat of Bercy this Monday night at the cinema. Two hundred theaters in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg are organizing a unique screening of the remastered version of the legendary Bercy 92 concert at 8:00 p.m.
Coming soon an immersive exhibition
At that time, 250,000 spectators attended this concert “which grows in sophistication and scale,” according to a press release. “Johnny deploys his skills as an exceptional interpreter in spectacular staging and interprets, in addition to his classics, titles that will become immense songs.”
On the show: hits like the music I like, gabriela, That I love you, Desire Y I promise. Johnny Halliday also sang something tennesseein homage to Michel Berger, who died a few weeks earlier.
December will be a busy month for Johnny fans. Brussels will host from December 20 an immersive exhibition dedicated to the singer. It will evoke both the Johnny of the concerts, the public man, as well as the most intimate aspects of his life. The exhibition will end on June 30, 2023, before arriving in Paris in January 2024.
