Zucchero is a first in many things.
The first Rock Star to play The Kremlin, the first European Bluesman to sell millions of albums in Europe and specifically – Italy. The first Bluesman outside of North America to be invited to play with Clapton, Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Himself – along with best pal Pavarotti, created Pavarotti and Friends. A collaboration between Opera, Pop and Rock which has raised millions of dollars for recognized charities around the globe. Zucchero still maintains the charity even though his best friend has passed away to the great Opera House in the sky …
Zucchero has used his talent to generate millions of dollars to children’s charities worldwide. Something he continues to do with a little help from friends Peter Gabriel and Bono. Montreal is lucky to have this man in the city on March 16th at The Olympia.
Ladies and Gentlemen – Zucchero!
