The death of Taulier aroused national emotion in France and numerous tributes were paid to him, including a musical descent by the funeral procession of the Champs-Élysées in front of nearly a million people. Buried according to his last wishes in the Lorient cemetery, on the island of Saint-Barthélemy, Johnny Hallyday still received very beautiful tributes from his loved ones, seven years after his disappearance.

Having kept a very strong bond with him until his death, his ex-wife Sylvie Vartan shared two unpublished photos of the rocker when he was young, while adding a white heart with a broken heart in the caption.
