Sarkozy did not disavow Hallyday; instead he declared that the singer was quite justified. If he won the election, said Sarkozy, he would cut tax rates to entice France’s high earners back home. That promise was important to many more people than Johnny Hallyday. Something like half a million young French people are estimated to be living in southern England.Rock and roll ain't noise pollution.
Johnny Hallyday was supposed to show for Sarkozy’s speech on the Place de la Concorde, but never appeared, according to TV5. Apparently a big let-down for Sarko.
