Guest of Léa Salamé, the singer Sylvie Vartan made frank confidences about herself and apologized to her son, David Hallyday…
As part of his farewell tour to the stage, I bow outand the release of her autobiography next November, Sylvie Vartan is increasing the number of promotional interviews. This Tuesday, October 1, 2024, it was to Léa Salamé, in the morning show of France Inter, that she agreed to confide.

The icon of the yéyés therefore responded promptly, and without warning, to the questions, sometimes very personal, from the journalist. Asked about the feeling that she considers closest to her, Sylvie Vartan immediately mentioned her melancholy. A response that resonated very strongly with Léa Salamé since, a few weeks earlier, David Hallyday, the son that Sylvie Vartan had with Johnny Hallyday, gave exactly the same response.
“When I was little, I always kept this kind of sadness, I don’t know where it came from. That’s what followed me for a very long time. I think that this kind of melancholy is is a bit genetic”had actually declared the father of Ilona, Emma and Cameron Smet. Proof, once again, that dogs do not make cats!
In turn surprised by her son’s response, the 80-year-old singer presented her deepest apologies to her eldest. “I’m sorry it came from me.”launched with a smile on her lips the one who even dedicated a song – simply titled Melancholy – to this character trait, in 2009.
Sylvie Vartan talks about her melancholy: “I’m extreme actually.”
“I have paradoxes, indeed, I go from melancholy, which is part of my genes and those of my parents too, and at the same time, I like to laugh a lot, I like cheerfulness. I am extreme in do”continued Sylvie Vartan a few minutes later. A certain melancholy which does not prevent the one who can boast of having a 60-year career under her belt from being, even today, an icon of French song.
Sylvie Vartan will therefore close this chapter, at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, next January, and will reprise her hits one last time, from Like a boy has La Maritza. In the meantime, it is with her husband Tony Scotti that she spends peaceful days between their villa in Los Angeles and their house in Paris.
