Johnny Hallyday, the French Elvis

Johnny Hallyday is the biggest and most popular ever French rock star. No other French singer has ever been that big. He is more than an icon, he is a national treasure in France. So when the news hit last fall that he was hospitalized and in an artificial coma, the entire country stopped breathing. America has Elvis, France has Johnny. Now he is back and working on a new album.
