The most famous rock star in France, Johnny Hallyday, has been hospitalized in LA, according to the singer's Paris press office. His publicist says the 66 year-old rocker is "under observation" after an infection linked to a November 26 surgery on a herniated disc.
The statement said Hallyday would be released in a few days and offered no other details.
X17online can confirm the singer is at Cedars-Sinai. We have heard unfortunate rumors that the star is in a coma.
The aging rocker was in the middle of his multi-country "Route 66" tour. He is a partner with clothing designer Christian Audigier in the Smet line (Hallyday was born Jean-Phillippe Smet), associated with Audigier's Ed Hardy brand.
