Because according to the information I had from family, Johnny was suffering a lot. This is my friend, and when he is a true friend, you don’t want to see a friend suffer. Johnny has always been heroic and it was heroic to the end”.

Michel Polnareff, who had accompanied the Idol during her concerts at the Palais des Sports, Paris, in 1971, admits to keeping “the memory of a hero, a man of courage, phenomenal, incomparable, whether in his personal life, his battle with the disease, his career. It has revolutionized the show business at the time. It has been an example for all of us, it has us all inspired. I saw it for the first time when I was still in college. It came from the circus, he was part of that world, a world that is excessively courageous, with suffering extraordinary, but when they are on stage, make believe that everything is easy. Johnny was part of that world ! I had a great admiration for him. It is an extraordinary interpreter. I refer to this because he is there and he will always be there. Person will never forget”.

But this time, the fight was unfortunately uneven. He is no longer suffering. It is the only thing that consoles me“.
