A collaboration of an Opera Singer with a Rock Guitarist just doesn’t sound right. And one would assume it would surely be horrible, right? Yet recently the collaboration between Andrea Bocelli, the legendary Opera Singer, and Brian May, the rock guitarist icon of the band “Queen,” defies such expectations. Listen to the duo’s captivating performance of “Who Wants to Live Forever” which left the audience stunned. Who knew these two polar opposite talents can create something so magical?
In the beautiful region of Tuscany, the duet came together on Bocelli’s 30th-anniversary concert and left the audience in awe with their performance. May covers the guitar with his gentle strumming which appropriately lays into Bocelli, who sings with so much power in his operatic voice that it physically moves you.
