Shortly after his birth in 1958, the Italian singer-songwriter was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma and became completely blind at the age of 12 following a soccer accident.

But there was nothing that could hinder Bocelli’s talent from being discovered. In 1992, a demo tape of him singing the song “Miserere” found its way into the hands of famous Italian operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti, via the Italian rock star Zucchero. This connection sparked the beginning of a successful singing career for Bocelli.
