Hallyday has completed 181 tours, had 18 platinum albums, and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists of all time.[4] He announced his retirement from performing on 3 December 2007, saying that he would retire in 2009,[5] after a farewell tour.
