The leather-clad would-be Elvis, known simply as Johnny, announced in March he had been diagnosed with the disease and would undergo treatment. "Johnny Hallyday has left us. My man is no longer with us," said Laeticia Hallyday, 42, in a statement made in the early hours. "There is something of Johnny in all of us," the French presidency said in a statement on news of his death. "Until the very last moment, he held firm against this illness that had afflicted him for months, teaching us all extraordinary life lessons," said Laeticia Hallyday.
