Blanco he had been invited to present the new single The island of roses but at one point in the performance, after midnight, he began to go into a tantrum, kicking the floral arrangement. “I couldn’t hear through the headphones, I couldn’t sing – the artist then explained – but at least I had fun, music is also this”.

The events took place on the evening of the February 8 Festival, the second, when Riccardo Fabbriconi, 20 years old, took the stage together with Mahmood to sing the hit Chills. All smooth, for the song that triumphed at the last edition of the singing competition, until Blanco did not return solo to interpret the new single, The island of roses. Then, a glitch in the headphones and the gesture of kicking the surrounding choreographed roses – which had to be expected – transcended into a total devastation of the flowers and the vases that contained them.

In short, a choreography gone wrong which, however, now risks causing some problems for the singer from Brescia, despite Amadeus had immediately forgiven him: “He knows he was wrong, he called me to apologize. No punishment for him”.
Amadeus, hot, he added to calm down “and let’s fix it, if you want you can go back to singing later”. In the end, however, Blanco he no longer sang and that ‘header’ became a national case. Blanco, who then apologized with a post, should have rolled around in the roses and not destroyed them. Waiting to clarify the matter and for Rai to explain what the agreements were, a file has been opened against him.
