Andrea Bocelli
The performance was not the only performance by Andrea Bocelli that made a headline this month. Andrea performed on special live stream concert from Milan on Easter Sunday. YouTube showed it had more than 30 million views.
According to the Italian opera singer, what he did was not a performance, but a prayer.
“I received this invitation by the mayor of Milan. And by the authorities of the church and of course, I answered yes. I’m very happy to do this,” he said. “It’s not a performance, it’s not a concert, it’s a prayer.”
Andrea encouraged everyone to pray with him as they listen to the song.
“I will go there to pray. And I’d like to think that everyone listening to me sing can pray with me.”
During this time of hardship, it is our prayer that can win this battle and turn our difficulties into victories. There is power in our prayers!
