The couple boarded a yacht, 61-year-old Bocelli wore a comfortable navy blue T-shirt and casual shorts, wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses, his wife first put on a printed bikini, changed into a white dress at lunch, and was photographed hand-picking red wine together, life is quite comfortable.
Bocelli looks pretty good, you know, he himself has just recovered from the new crown pneumonia!
In March, Bocelli announced that he had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and in May he announced his recovery, while also donating his plasma to researchers.
The low-key Bocelli said in an interview: "This outbreak has affected me and some of my family members, albeit not much. Out of respect, and out of the desire to protect my family's privacy, and not to disturb my fans, I decided not to reveal more information. ”
On April 12 this year, Bocelli sang "Music For Hope" in an empty cathedral in Milan, and the performance was transmitted to the world through live broadcast, cheering up fans around the world.
One of the most successful tenors in the world today, Bocelli has recorded and released 15 solo albums since 1982, selling more than 90 million copies worldwide.
To date, Bocelli has won dozens of major awards, including four World Music Awards for Best-Selling Classical Artist, six Brit Awards, and left his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010.
Celine Dion, who has worked with him, once said, "If God could sing, he must have sounded a lot like Bocelli." ”
Elizabeth Taylor, who is a huge fan of his, said: "My mind, my soul was touched by his beauty, his voice, his inner being, heaven must have kissed this man, and I am grateful for it." ”
Although he accidentally became blind because of his childhood, it is not too much to say that Bocelli is the winner of a proper life.
Before Bocelli was born, doctors feared he was stunted and advised his parents to give up. Sure enough, Bocelli was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma at the age of 5 months.
Fortunately, he grew up in a small village called La Sterza in Lajatico, Tuscany, Italy, where his family owned a farm that produced agricultural machinery and winemaking, where his mother and brother still live today, and whose father died in 2000.
and younger brother Alberto Bocelli
Bocelli showed great enthusiasm for music from an early age, learning piano at the age of 6, and later learning flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, and drumming.
His nanny Oriana gave him a record of the famous Italian tenor Franco Corelli, and Bocelli found his own direction in life for the first time, imitating the voice of the famous singer at the age of 7.
At the age of 12, Bocelli was injured in a football match, and as a goalkeeper, he was hit in the eye by a football, resulting in a cerebral hemorrhage, the operation was unsuccessful, and he completely lost his vision.
Bocelli did not give up singing, let alone his studies, he participated in a singing competition at the age of 14, and after graduating from secondary school in 1980, he entered the University of Pisa to study law.
At that time, he went to school during the day and performed in piano bars at night, not only making money, but also meeting his future wife, Enrica, completing law school, and serving as a court-appointed lawyer for a year.
The two married in 1992 and gave birth to their eldest son, Amos, in 1995 and their second son, Matteo, in 1997.
Also in 1992, Bocelli sang a song sample for the late world-class tenor Pavarotti, his voice amazed Pashin, and immediately found Bocelli to invite him to sing with him, this "Miserere" was a great success, after the popularity soared, Bocelli was successfully signed by the top Italian record company Sugar Group.
In 1994, at the age of 36, Bocelli sang the song "Miserere" in the preliminary round of the 44th Sanremo Music Festival and achieved the highest ever result in the New Human Race.
What made Bocelli a globally renowned singer was 1997's Time To Say Goodbye. The song received critical acclaim as soon as it was released, and the version he collaborated with Sarah Brightman sold 12 million copies worldwide.
As a crossover singer, Bocelli managed to bring classical music to the top of the international pop charts.
He and Celine Dion sang the interlude "The Prayer" for the 1998 film Quest for Camelot, which received Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Original Song and Oscar nominations for Best Original Song.
The song is also the finale of the "One World United at Home" anti-epidemic concert in April this year, when Bocelli, Celine Dion, Lang Lang, Lady Gaga and legendary brother John Legend collaborated.
To be sure, Bocelli's voice, especially his standard of opera singing, has been criticized by critics over the years for his thin voice and rough technique, with critic Steve Smith commenting on a 2009 New York performance: "The technical flaws in Bocelli's voice are exposed in the face of traditional classical works. ”
Nevertheless, he is one of the most well-known tenors of our time, and is also known as Pavarotti's successor because of his personal teachings at his peak.
The Puerto Rican soprano Ana Maria Martinez, who often performs with him, is pertinent: "Above all, Andrea has a beautiful voice and a pure heart that brings the light that surrounds him, which is what makes him unique." ”
Bocelli has a large number of fans all over the world, and he has spent all these years on tour and maintained a strong creative ability. In 2010, Bocelli sang "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" at the opening ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo.
"Perfect Symphony" with Huang boss Ed Sheeran has been played more than 150 million times.
The 2019 album Sì, which topped the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200, became Bocelli's first number-one album in both countries, and the single "Con te partirò", included on his second album Bocelli, was one of his best-selling singles of all time.
Bocelli, as father and husband, is also happy. Although the marriage with his first wife ended in 2002, Bocelli and his ex-wife lived not far away to facilitate the care of the two children.
The two adult sons are now also closely bound to their father's career. The eldest son, Amos, also followed in his father's footsteps, entering the world of music at a very young age, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano from the Bokcherini Higher Conservatory of Music, and over the years, performing several times with his father, who played the piano on his 2018 album Sì.
In January 2014, Amos became a member of the Board of Directors of Almud Edizioni Musicali (Bocelli's Office of Commerce and Management). In April 2016, he became a member of the board of directors of the ABC Andre Bocelli's charity initiative.
The taller is the second son, Matteo, who has already shot commercials with J Lo and is currently developing into the field of singing.
He collaborated with his father on the first single from his last album, Si, "Fall On Me," which was played more than 16.5 million times in just four weeks after its release, and was one of the soundtracks to the Disney movie "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms."
The youngest daughter, Virginia, is only 8 years old this year, and has already performed with her father on stage.
When she met her second wife, Veronica, she was only 18 years old, and the two had a 20-year age difference, and after the birth of their daughter in 2012, they officially married on the second birthday of their daughter in 2014, and the couple lived in Forte dei Marmi, Italy.
In a 2018 interview with People Magazine, talking about the secret of maintaining marriage, Bocelli said: "I think the most important thing is that there is chemistry between two people, as long as there is chemistry with each other, then there is poetry, there is harmony, there is mutual understanding, then there is love; If there is no chemistry, there is nothing. A boring and boring marriage won't last long. ”
The family was very friendly, and when Veronica gave birth, the two stepsons accompanied their father to the hospital waiting for their sister Virginia to be born.
Veronica is also Bocelli's broker and CEO of Bocelli's brokerage firm Almud. Bocelli wrote on his personal website: "I can say that I am very fortunate to be able to share my private life as well as my professional life with the woman I love. ”
As one of the earliest European countries to break out the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Italy's single-day confirmed cases have dropped to triple digits, and since May, it has entered a parallel stage of fighting the epidemic and recovering the economy.
Due to the epidemic, the Italian tourism industry has been seriously affected. Recently, Bocelli and his wife have been calling for their home in Tuscany in the post-epidemic era.
Despite his blindness, Bocelli is very fond of sports, riding horses and skiing, and he is also a fan of the Inter Milan football team.
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken away many artists from all over the world, and I hope that Bocelli, as a survivor, will continue to go on the road, continue to sing, and sing the exuberant notes of life.
