“Man impersonating death held out his hands towards me”
There is also the mythical Al Bano among the guests protagonists of ‘From the street to the stage’, the new show by Nek and Bianca Guaccero in search of the best street artist in Italy. Who knows, maybe the Cellino San Marco singer might be able to give some advice to the hosting duo, considering his long experience in the world of music and a high-level career. The Apulian singer-songwriter, famous all over the world with millions of records sold and fresh from the writing of The Sun insidethe biography co-written with Roberto Allegri, is ready to tell his story and make himself available to Nek and Bianca Guaccero.
There are many anecdotes that Al Bano can draw from his long life journey and as an artist with a capital L. What perhaps not everyone knows, however, is that the Cellino San Marco singer also experienced several hard and dramatic moments during his existence, from the death of his daughter Ylenia to the separation with his ex-partner Romina Power.
Al Bano, the most difficult period and the disturbing detail of the man who personified death
In his latest autobiography, the singer retraces the drama of that difficult period, also focusing on a disturbing detail of a man who impersonated death and held out his hands towards him, met during the family trip. The Apulian artist refers precisely to that last summer spent with Ylenia, when they wanted to travel America in a camper.
Well, having stopped in New Mexico, Al Bano had a rather particular meeting. “A guy impersonating Death came towards me, walking on stilts. He held out his hands and said, “I get you.” Instinctively, as an Apulian, I replied by making horns,” Al Bano revealed in his book.
