Who Is Andrea Bocelli And Is He Really Blind?

To date, he has recorded four complete operas - La Bohème, Il Trovatore, Werther and Tosca - in addition to various classical and pop albums. Bocelli has congenital glaucoma and is blind. Bocelli's parents sold farm machinery and made wine in the tiny village of La Sterza, a frazione of Lajatico, 50 km from Pisa.
As of 2006, Bocelli's 67-year-old mother and brother Alberto still live in the family home. Bocelli's father is deceased.As a child, Bocelli played the organ in church, and at age 12 he won the Margherita d'Oro in Viareggio with "'O Sole Mio", his first win in a music competition.
That same year, Bocelli was struck blind as a result of glaucoma and an accident while playing football.
After working for one year as a lawyer (he graduated with a Doctor of Laws from the University of Pisa), he took singing lessons from maestro Luciano Bettarini and thereafter took up music full time.

Yes he is blind and just because he opens his eyes doesnt mean he is not blind. He was diagnosed with glaucoma at age 12 and i think he went through some tough times and you should be proud tht he inspires other people with his music and people die for him HE IS THE BEST ITALIAN SINGER IN THE WORLD!!!!!! GO BOCELLI
