NEWS: The strange health saga of French entertainment icon Johnny Hallyday

We hear the health of France’s biggest rock star is finally improving as doctors brought Johnny Hallyday out of a medically induced coma he had been in since last week.

The coma was necessary due to complications the 66 year-old Hallyday was having after a botched surgery on his back this year. Even Johnny’s good friend, French president Nicolas Sarkozy sent his well wishes.

And if your wondering if Hallyday has any fans that really care?

Seems the doctor who originally botched the surgery on Johnny was just attacked by two hooded men.

Reps for Hallyday insist they knew nothing of an attack on the doctor and blamed a “witch hunt” stirred up by French media where the status of the beloved icon has been front page news all week.
