And now Johnny Hallyday, France's very own Elvis. Much beloved...and misunderstood by those of us not French, but a constant figure in the press and gossip columns.

I met him a few times yonks ago. He was rather a nice man and interesting to talk to IRL.

I was surprised when I saw that on the news this morning. I thought he was much older. I remember from my days in France in the early 80s and I thought he was old then!

Not bad going to flog 100M plus records without cracking the Anglophone market.

No one had Hallyday nor Keeler.

I'm also going to post the 2018 thread today or tomorrow.

Anyone have him? He sounds like a thoroughly undesirable scrote.

Are we allowed to change picks?

For 2018 yes, I just haven't started the thread, but I have prepped the 2018 sheet, you can see it in the existing file.I'll put up the new thread tomorrow. I've pre-filled it with existing picks, but they can be edited until 1-Jan. Feel free to go ahead and edit yours!

He was a nasty piece of works even before the sexual assault charges came to light.

I'm surprised to see no mention of August Ames, Cancon and a potential 77 points.

This goes in the 2017 thread, this one is for 2018!

Don’t think anyone had him. Probably kept his condition secret....otherwise he would have been an unfortunately good pick 🙁
