Saturday November 23, 2024, Sylvie Vartan was the guest of the show “Face à Hanouna” on C8. Coming in particular to discuss her “I draw my bow” tour and her participation in her son David Hallyday's concert a few days earlier, the singer was treated to an astonishing anecdote from Fabien Lecoeuvre.
Sylvie Vartan, surprised by the words of Fabien Lecoeuvre
The chronicler indeed recounted that a “gypsy“was waiting for Sylvie Vartan when she left the maternity ward the day she was born.”You had a spot on your left hand, a small crown, with a cross. According to gypsies, it is a harbinger of a lucky, successful and fulfilled life.“, he said.
Visibly surprised by this story, the ex-Johnny Hallyday's companion responded with astonishment: “Oh good?”, before adding “But it's incredible, it's true, who told you that?“. To which Fabien Lecoeuvre retorted: “I think it was you!“.
The anecdote about the breakup with Johnny Hallyday
During the show, other subjects were also discussed, such as the famous love story between Sylvie Vartan and Johnny Hallyday. Married from 1965 to 1980, the two artists enjoyed a passionate romance for nearly 15 years before separating.
Jean-Jacques Debout, a close friend of the couple at the time, revealed how he helped the rocker overcome this painful breakup. “After his separation from Sylvie, he lived with us for two years, in our apartment on rue des Saints-Pères“, he confided in the columns of Ici Paris magazine.
Neighbors sometimes disturbed by Johnny
However, cohabitation has not always been easy for the neighbors of the building, as Jean-Jacques Debout recounts with humor:
“Some neighbors still remember the times when he would ride with his biker friends aboard their big Harleys. We made the stupid mistake of putting in a very light-colored carpet that Chantal regularly scrubbed to remove the grease stains… Those years were so funny!“
Despite these small inconveniences, the songwriter keeps fond memories of this time and his unwavering friendship with Johnny Hallyday, whom he considered his “little brother“. A beautiful bond which lasted until the disappearance of Taulier in December 2017.
