Laeticia Hallyday, widow of Johnny Hallyday, has reached an agreement with the daughter of the French rock star, who died in 2017, about part of the legacy. Which reports Leticia Hallyday Friday to French public broadcaster.
“Laeticia expressed the desire to reach an agreement with her husband’s children. The mourning for Johnny’s death demands peace and tranquility that must live in every family. For example, we reached a final agreement with Laura Smet, who Laeticia took Hallyday’s hand, “said Gilles Gauer, Laeticia Hallyday’s lawyer.
The deal ends an years-long legal battle between Laeticia Hallyday and Laura Smet, which stemmed from an earlier relationship of the singer. Smet, together with her brother David Hallyday, challenged the will that their father made in 2014, because he wanted to give his complete legacy to his fourth wife Laeticia Hallyday and their adopted daughters Jade and Joy.
In April 2018, the judge ruled that virtually all of Johnny Hallyday’s estate should be frozen. The inheritance is said to have a value of 100 million euros. No agreement has yet been concluded with son David Hallyday.
Johnny Hallyday, considered French Elvis Presley, died in December 2017 at the age of 74 from lung cancer. He sold over 100 million records during his career.
