Andrea

Bocelli
As a child, Andrea Bocelli learned to play the
piano, flute and saxophone. At age 12 he became
totally blind after suffering a brain hemorrhage as
the result of a soccer accident. Andrea did’t begin
his singing career until the late 1980s, when he
began performing in piano bars throughout Italy.
Before then he earned a law degree from the
University of Pisa. In 1993 he was signed to a
record contract, that was the beginning of a
spectacular career. Andrea has worked with the
likes of Luciano Pavarotti and Sarah Brightman.

Andrea Bocelli is one of today’s

greatest classical stars. He’s sold
millions of records and sells out
concert halls and arenas around
the world. One of his most
popular songs is: "Time to Say
Goodbye", this beautiful song was
originally written in Italian for
Bocelli, who first sang it at the
1995 Sanremo Festival. A year
later, an Italian-English version
was released as a duet with
soprano Sarah Brightman.
