JOHNNY FOREVER book

On March 14, 1960, a 16-year-old phoenix burst into the world of singing. There he will experience all the metamorphoses, and even the resurrection. Until his final exit from the stage, on the night of December 6, 2017. But his legend still burns. And his voice will continue to set fire to the hearts of the French for a long time. Sam Bernett, his friend since the days of Golf Drouot, retraces the wild team that has kept the rock planet in suspense since the beginnings of a certain Jean-Philippe Smet: more than half a century of fire, trance, love. It tells the story of the seven lives of this rock feline. Life of a rogue, a vagabond crooner who became a hit collector. Life as an idol, youth star at 20, living god at 60, object of unparalleled worship. Life of a rocker, “prince of tumult”, hungry for thrills. A lover's life that few women have been able to tame. Life of an actor condemned to always play his own role. Sports life, stage athlete, dumbbells and Harley. Life as a boss, finally: twist, yé-yé, blues, soul and the new generation. Without hiding anything from the demons, errors and wounds of this skinned cat who became lion king, Sam Bernett combines Johnny with all the times of his immortal youth.
