Andrea Bocelli is the world's most successful male solo recording artist. He has sold an astonishing twenty million recordings worldwide, and has sung for the Pope and for Bill Clinton. He has become the popular face of classical music, best known for his recent "pop" album 'Sogno', which topped the Billboard World Album chart, and the classical 'Sacred Arias', which became the biggest-selling album of all time by a classical vocalist. Every album he has released has either gone gold or platinum.
Yet behind this man's extraordinary success lies a story of personal triumph more dramatic than any opera. Andrea Bocelli lost his sight at the age of twelve. Undeterred, he continued to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a famous tenor, using Braille musical scores and lyric sheets.
No fan of classical music can afford to be without the charming memoirs of this fascinating star.
