The “Requiem pour un fou” tour was a real triumph during its first date on November 12, 2024 at the Dôme de Paris. A concert event during which David Hallyday was able to find his mother Sylvie Vartan but also Laura Smet who came to join him on stage. An “unforgettable” concert for the 58-year-old artist.

The rest after the ad
November 12, 2024 is and will remain a historic date for the Hallyday family. That evening, David Hallyday gave the very first Parisian concert of his new tour Requiem for a Madman at the Paris Dome. Very moved, the son of Johnny Hallyday was able to count on his loved ones, in particular Santa who came on stage to perform the emblematic title Desire then on his mother Sylvie Vartan. Proud mom, the rocker's ex, who died in 2017, sang the song Something from Tennessee with his son. A moment of rare intensity for the public. As a reminder, David Hallyday had recently joined his mother on stage by performing the title Blood for blood during his final tour I bow out.
A few moments later, Cameron, fruit of the love between David Hallyday and Alexandra Pastor born in 2004, appears on the screen with an impressive knight's costume. Upset, Laura Smet also shared the images of this precious moment on Instagram. “#family”, she wrote in the caption.
At the end of this very moving duet, David Hallyday could not help but address a few very tender words to his mother: “What an honor you do me this evening (…) You have managed to do everything, raise your children and succeed in your career, he adds. I have seen many singers in my life and you are my favorite. I love you“.
Also in the spotlight during this magical evening, David Hallyday's daughters, Emma and Ilona (fruits of his love with Estelle Lefébure), appeared “in a pretty black and white mapping on High, one of his first successes“, indicate our colleagues from Parisian.
David and Laura Smet reunited on stage
Laura Smet was also present on images projected behind her brother when he performed the title Laura released in 1986.”Thank you I love you” she writes with love. “It is a declaration of love from a father to his daughter which became a declaration of love from a brother to his sister“, confides David Hallyday before being joined by his sister on stage. Together, they produced a very beautiful duet on the title We scare each other before hugging each other tenderly.
Finally, David Hallyday was able to find his father and sing the title with hime Blood for blood thanks to Artificial Intelligence in an incredible staging where the captain appeared joining the stage.
“Thank you for this unforgettable evening“, declared David Hallyday at the end of this concert which is already considered a true masterpiece by all his fans.
