For decades, Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli has stunned the world with his incredibly powerful voice and magnetic stage presence. As singer Céline Dion, one of the greatest vocal talents of our time, has said: “If God would have a singing voice, he must sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli.” Even more incredible, this talented vocalist has become one of the best-selling artists of all time in Europe and America without sight.
Diagnosed with glaucoma as a child, he went blind at the age of 12. While losing sight at that young age was devastating and would have stopped most people from pursuing a public career, Bocelli has never allowed his disability to keep him down. Just as important as his groundbreaking musical career is his love for his family.
