Sylvie Vartan plans to say goodbye shortly. But her son, David Hallyday, believes that his mother is perhaps not ready to bow out…
Sylvie Vartan assured him: she is saying goodbye! The singer, now 80 years old, plans to leave the stage after a final tour, “I draw my bow”, where she will be at the Dôme de Paris on November 8, 9 and 10, as well as at the Palais des Congrès on January 24, 25 and 26, 2025. But her son, David Hallyday, seems to think that his famous mother has not yet said her last word…
“There was no official announcement”: David Hallyday, skeptical of his mother’s farewell
The artist marked the era of yéyé, but now has the feeling that it is time for her to hang up the microphone. “I don’t want to put on too much of a show. I’m going to be 80 years old, still, I can’t believe it myself! I still have the strength and my voice, thank goodness, but it can’t last forever“, she had explained a few months earlier, Parisian.
After this farewell tour, Johnny Hallyday’s ex-wife should therefore officially retire. But his son, David Hallyday, guest on the show As an aside on Canal + this October 14, made confidences which should please fans of the interpreter of The Maritza.
For the son of Johnny and Sylvie Vartan, his mother’s career is perhaps not quite over. “There has been no official announcement. It’s: ‘Well, I think it’s okay, I’ve done everything in my life, and at some point it has to stop.’ There were these kinds of discussions, but in the middle of other discussions“, he first declared.
Will Sylvie Vartan really retire? “I have my doubts”
According to David Hallyday, it is likely that his mother will change her mind and ultimately pursue her artistic career: “I’m wary of announcements like that, because I know, for my part, that sometimes I can also say things like ‘I’ve done it enough. I would like other challenges“.
If he “don’t know“what will really happen, the interpreter of Blood for blood is convinced that music “means a lot to her“. And to conclude: “And then, the public means a lot to her. She spent her whole life in front of it. I have my own doubts, which are mine alone. Maybe I’m wrong. We’ll see“.
