The co-founder and former leader of Litfiba will return to the stages of Italy during the summer with the Deserti Tour 2024
April 25 – 6.37pm – MILAN
Piero Pelù is about to return to tour a few months after the serious health problem that last year forced him to postpone the release of the new album and postpone the tour Extreme Live. An irreversible problem, a series of very aggressive tinnitus, which the Florentine rocker understood how to manage and work around in recent months in view of the long-awaited return to the stages of Italy.
The accident in 2023

On the occasion of the release of Desertsanticipated by the single NovichokPelù spoke about himself in an interview with Corriere della Serarevealing some more details about theaccident that forced him to stop in 2023: “I was in the recording studio and I suffered an acoustic shock. I had changed headphones and the sound engineer didn’t do the calculations well: I lost consciousness, I fell to the ground.”
Despite the trauma, however, the founder of the Litfiba he wasn’t immediately concerned about what happened, with all the consequences of the case: “I didn’t do the checks immediately and I overlooked the problem. The damage is irreversible, I’ve recovered a little but there’s no healing from these shocks. I can get around the problem with technology. A well-calibrated acoustic system allows me to face the stage again: I have to create sound hell outside, but in headphones it’s as if I had Casadei”, admitted the 63-year-old.
The struggle with depression

In this period of forced stop, Pelù had to deal with depressionalso triggered by the dissolution of Litfiba after the last concert at the Mediolanum Forum in Assago on 22 December 2022: “The thoughts related to the end of Litfiba were added to the health concerns. I sought professional help, which I still turn to , and I was able to open some beautiful doors.”
The rocker also returned to talk about definitive break with Ghigo Renzullihinting at the guitarist’s responsibility in the new dissolution of the group: “My being Litfiba deep inside, I even tattooed it on my belly at the end of the tour, hoped that the egos would calm down and that, despite the announcements, he wouldn’t be the one last tour. And yet… We don’t change people’s minds. And to say that we are mature people, not a boy band. There are those who want to remain anchored to the past, see also the historical moment we are experiencing today, and those instead he tries to keep alive the word freedom which in the case of an artist means experimenting”.
