Mr Cogito Watches Luciano Pavarotti Help Open The Turin, Italy Winter Olympic Games And Then Goes Out And Buys A Feulliton
"ANDREA BOCELLI has come under fire from his rival VITTORIO GRIGOLO, after the blind tenor slammed modern music's lack of creativity.
The 47-year-old believes the music industry needs to return to classical values if music is to survive what he perceives as a dangerous slump in originality.
