Johnny Hallyday cowboy hat Laetitia Hallyday

French rocker Johnny Hallyday is back on his feet after allegedly faulty back surgery kept him down for a few weeks. Johnny was released from Cedars Sinai Medical Center last week just before Christmas.

X17 now has the first pix of the 66 year-old, out and about yesterday with his wife Leticia, paying a visit to his doctor but looking healthy and happy.

X17online was the first to report that Hallyday had been put in a doctor-induced coma in LA after flying back to the States to receive treatment for an infection he got during an operation for a herniated disc.

Hallyday has headlined the news in France for weeks with fans worried the aging rocker might not pull through. But here, X17's first pix of the icon prove he's back and better than ever!
