David Hallyday « Requiem pour un fou »

David Hallyday presents Requiem pour un fou at Le Liberté in Rennes on December 9, 2026. With this concert, he revisits the Hallyday legacy in his own way, blending his own repertoire with that of Johnny. A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, David here assumes the singular role he occupies in this family and musical history, offering a personal interpretation of the songs that have marked several generations.

It is worth recalling that he composed the album Sang pour Sang, a major milestone in his father's discography and a key moment in their rapprochement. On stage, he alternates his own songs with Johnny’s, without imitation, working on the arrangements to make the two universes converse. The idea is not to reproduce them identically, but to illuminate these pieces through the perspective of a son who grew up at the heart of French rock.

Requiem pour un fou foregrounds lineage, transmission, and the artistic bond woven over time. An extended concert conceived to recover the energy of the great songs and David Hallyday’s sensitivity—between the power of the guitars, ballads that tug at the heart, and shared memories. An evening that brings people together, carried by an artist confident in his direction and in what he wants to say today.
