David Hallyday « Requiem pour un fou »

On December 8, 2026, at the Espace Mayenne in Laval, David Hallyday presents Requiem pour un fou, a concert conceived as a live dialogue with the work of Johnny Hallyday. An author‑composer‑performer who penned Sang pour Sang for his father, he blends their repertoires here—Johnny’s songs alongside his own material—to offer his own interpretation on stage. For two hours he explores this family bond through music, assuming the dual role of son and artist.

On the program is a pop‑rock journey in which voice and guitars carry Johnny’s classics alongside the tracks that shaped David’s career. Requiem pour un fou foregrounds lineage, transmission and love as the common thread, without aiming for an exact replica or cheap nostalgia. Rather, it seeks to place these songs in perspective through the eyes of someone who knows them intimately, and to make them resonate in the present. It is David Hallyday’s way of bringing two stories together on one stage, allowing listeners to hear what connects them as much as what sets them apart.
