Laeticia Hallyday has learned to dry her tears. Back to Los Angeles, the last wife of the rocker maintains his memory, with strength and determination…

In her way, she keeps the night. It became a ritual. A final accompaniment, without a doubt, necessary to his work of mourning, more than a superstition, morbid and fearful. Johnny Hallyday, now sleeps under the skies of Saint Bartholomew’s day, according to his last wishes. But his voice had not filed all of the words. This is the same reason for which he had begun recording new and ultimate songs, to Santa Monica, last spring. A unfinished project. A promise to perform. Vestal from a young age, first to help his divorced father André Boudou, and then in the service of the phoenix rock ‘ n ‘ roll French, Laeticia has always maintained the sacred fire, has not ceased to cling to the oaths made to the life, death.

Then, in the middle of the afternoon, after having brought Jade and Joy at the French Lycée, she pushes the door of the studio Apogee, a building of red brick where Johnny shut himself in, there are still a few months. Concentrated, she sits behind the console where Maxim Nucci, alias Yodelice, operates as a director. And she’s listening to this voice which is nothing more than a whisper inside, the instrumentation that which the sublime as ever, for long hours. Until dawn, often. It is not just the wife of Johnny Hallyday, which it is the watch Audemars Piguet on the wrist and the crucifix around his neck. It is his memory, an artistic director also advised that Bertrand Lamblot, the musical ear dispatched on the spot by Warner Music. Between two riffs of Robin Le Mesurier, faithful guitarist of the icon Hallyday, people listen. She is bluffing, as much by its relevance and by its courage.

This is a new Laeticia, who landed in Los Angeles shortly before midnight, the 15th of January last. Landed a private jet with his grandmother Elyette, his daughters Jade and Joy, and the nanny of the past, Sylviane, on the tarmac of Santa Monica airport, she was greeted and walked up to Pacific Palisades by Maxim Nucci, Bertrand Lamblot and Sebastien Farran, manager of Johnny. The first two have opened the villa to Amalfi Drive, débâché cars and flower parts of the house up here, guarded by two employees of the house, from the 11 January.

The third joined them on the eve of the arrival of Laeticia. Roommates temporary, all were expected to comfort and console a woman, collapsed to the idea of not being able to gather at the grave of Johnny and having to repossess a home that left her with her husband last may.Only the wind touches the pool, lined with eucalyptus and banana trees, at 789 Amalfi Drive. Inside the villa walls painted in grey and black by designer Philippe Puron, no memory has been moved. Laeticia has vowed to keep the lesser trinket brushed by her husband.

But she is still a mother. More than red tape, what are Jade and Joy, which precipitated his return to California. Educated at home since September, briefly educated at St. Bartholomew’s in December, the two girls of thirteen and nine years old have taken courses at the French School, where they are recorded for almost five years, beginning on 17 January. If “Grandma Rock” provides stewardship to domestic and Sylviane oversees the duties, Laeticia are no missing output class. Ensure to Jade and Joy to a daily life as normal as possible : this is his obssession. On the way back to the house, mother and daughters will sometimes stop to sip on a smoothie.

Then, Laeticia took the direction of the studio Apogee. Even when almost all of its ten titles were recorded before he passed away, the album’s posthumous Johnny should not be out before may. His last circle is aiming for perfection. On the walls, crimson from the bunker, we swear sometimes that a shade short. “Remember the night, for both of us until the end of the world…”
