Charles Aznavour and Johnny Hallyday were united by a great friendship. Has on more than one occasion, the two artists, the pillars of the French song, have shared the stage and their love of music. And yet, the Armenian singer has not visited to the funeral of the rocker.

When asked about this by The Dispatch, he said that he had been “very affected” by the death of the singer. “I’m in pain, lived through what happened around the death of Johnny, with all these people who have claimed to be his best friends. “He says he has preferred to live in the mourning of his hand, the intimacy, the way Armenian :” For 40 days, I have met a number of rules, such as not drinking alcohol. ”

For his part, Charles Aznavour does not say good-bye to its audience anytime soon. He doesn’t hide it : his love for the stage is still present, but more importantly, he wants to beat a record of longevity : “I want to beat the record of Jeanne Calm down !” complained he, ” evoking the old woman died at the age of 122 years in 1997. Why this age ? “Because the old mamas who are jewish always say :” That you may live 120 years “. They are so nice to me, je don’t want to disappoint them ! “Simply.
