Sylvie Vartan discusses her fears for David Hallyday

This Tuesday, October 1, Sylvie Vartan was invited to the France Inter morning show to talk about her farewell tour. She returned to the birth of her son David and explained what she had difficulty protecting him from. “I didn’t want him to be exposed all the time and then I tried to protect him no matter what.. It was complicated because at the same time, it’s true that our life was so dizzying, it was double, since there was Johnny and there was me. So it was power… it was literally, it was incredible because we loved the same things, we were very similar, we were driven by the same force, by the same passion, so we heard about everything. And I was trying to protect my little one“, she confided to Léa Salamé. But even with this protection, David Hallyday was attracted to music.

David Hallyday talks about his childhood memories

A few years ago, the singer remembered his childhood with his parents. He started music very early, to the great happiness of Johnny Hallyday. “I started playing drums at the age of 6. I was tapping on the table, I was beating time, and it wasn’t just anything. I had a sense of rhythm. This amazed my father. Often, he would wake me up in the early morning, when he came home with his friends. “Show them how you play,” he said proudly. And he would take me to his music room. Me, I was happy… unlike the neighbors“, he said in Paris Match. Today, he keeps the legacy of his father and mother alive by performing on stage.
