The singer returns to what happened during the concert-tribute to Battiato: “Such a shame is only to be forgotten”
“A shame to forget” – “I think not, I don’t know. But everyone thought that the public had not behaved well. Such a shame is only to be forgotten.” This is the answer that the Cellino San Marco artist gives to the newspaper when he is asked if his presence on stage without Sgarbi could have changed things. The singer explained that he participated in that evening precisely because of the friendship that binds him to the critic: “I wasn’t expected to be there. I was with him at an evening in Abano Terme when he told me to follow him, which would take me to the ‘Arena where his sister was also with Extra Liscio “. Which Al Bano did without asking for an explanation and without even knowing that that evening was dedicated to Battiato. “I didn’t know anything. But I went in with the whistles and left with the applause.”
Politics and vaccines – “Fascists, fascists” are the words addressed by the public together with the whistles. But Al Bano denies that there may be political motivations behind it: “I have never expressed political thoughts” cut short. Instead, he expressed his adherence to the vaccination campaign. “The vaccine has always been the salvation of humanity,” he explains.
“They love me more abroad” – Five minutes to forget, then. And that, probably abroad, where Al Bano considers himself most loved, there would not have been. “In Italy I am considered the friend of the family while abroad they appreciate me for music: gossip does not exist”.
