David Hallyday « Requiem pour un fou »

On November 28, 2026, at the Zénith de Pau, David Hallyday presents Requiem pour un fou, a concert conceived as a dialogue with the work of Johnny Hallyday. For nearly two hours he weaves together his own songs and his father’s to trace a story of lineage and transmission. Not a pastiche, but the perspective of a son who knows the DNA of these pieces and makes them resonate in the present.

A songwriter and musician since his beginnings, David Hallyday wrote and composed a large portion of the album Sang pour sang, a key moment that sealed the reconciliation with Johnny. With Requiem pour un fou he extends that dialogue on stage, revisiting emblematic tracks and bringing his own stamp—balancing fidelity with interpretive freedom. The result carries the energy of a fully committed live performance and the restraint of a personal tribute, where the repertoires answer one another as if by pact. It is an invitation to hear anew the songs that have marked several generations, carried by the one who knows their intimate thread.
