MC Prussian Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 This is absolutely unreal, people pay hundreds to watch this guy sing and we get him for free? Whoever pulled this off needs a medal. Technically, it still costs you a matchday ticket. Or a fraction of your ST. But yeah, love it. Owners being generous and all. I expect another round of free doughnuts with that.
MrSpaM Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Apparently he promised Ranieri 6 weeks ago he'd do it if we won the league
Matt Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Singing Nessun Dorma... ****s sake, thought I'd at least wait until after the game before crying my eyes out. Thought this myself. I'm gonna be in bits on Saturday! But it's gonna be ****ing amazing!
Sharpe's Foxes Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 "The opera icon, who went blind at the age of 12 after being hit in the head by a football" You'd think he might want to stay clear of football grounds. Mind you, given our miracle season, the Schluppmeister will probably blast a wayward shot against the other side of his head and restore his sight! Would've preferred Andrea Pirlo myself.... Didn't know he was blind. He actually had congenital glaucoma so he was going to become blind anyway.
Sharpe's Foxes Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 "Leicester City supporters will be treated to a special performance from superstar tenor and football fan Andrea Bocelli ahead of Saturday’s Barclays Premier League fixture with Everton. The classical performer made a promise to City manager Claudio Ranieri to perform if the Foxes won the league, and after they made history with a title win on Monday night, Bocelli was only to happy to help make the historic day extra special. To celebrate the Foxes winning the title, Bocelli will be performing ‘Nessun Dorma’ and ‘Time To Say Goodbye’ in from of a sold out King Power Stadium crowd ahead of kick-off.

Izzy Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 1990 was when I fell in love with football. Mostly because of world cup Italia '90. My life long love affair with Leicester City naturally followed on, I'd been to game before that but never really got into it. Nessum Dorma is the anthem, the theme song, to my love of football. And now I'll get to see it sung live, by one of the worlds greatest opera stars, at the home of my team after we've just become champions on England. This is just beyond epic for me, absolutely fantastic. It will have me crying, I have no doubt about that In the famous word of Sir Bobby Robson: "I'm not saying we'd definitely have beaten Argentina in the final, but my house would have been on it" If you can get past the 20 second ads, just watch this and remember Italia 90 was such a brilliant World Cup..
Ian S Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Hopefully we'll be able to hear something, because you literally can't understand a single thing the Birch says down the mic That's because he actually shouts down the mic.
Sionnach gorm Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 So it's a Ranieri gift to the fans? Damn and We didn't get him anything!
Lord Kante Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 I heard a few rumours that Stormzy is joining Bocelli at half time.
notnow john Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 So,a brilliant world renowned opera singer who sells out everywhere and has no affiliation with us, wants to sing for us to celebrate this magnificent achievement . Then there's a bunch of niffy chancers, supposed fans ,who'll celebrate by charging fans fifty quid a pop . One of us? I think not!
Guest Col city fan Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Bocelli is a bit tacky anyway but it'll be cheese-tastic on Saturday. Still, major coup for the club. Kudos to the owners. Bocelli 'tacky'? Christ almighty. ..

Cheers for that. Like it was yesterday. The beeb using Nessun Dorma as the sig tune was a masterstroke. I LOVED that world cup.
4everfox Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Great, this is all I need. I'm going to be in floods of tears when Wes lifts the trophy let alone before the match when Andrea is bombing that tune out, I'll be a mess.
bovril Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Bocelli 'tacky'? Christ almighty. .. I think I've only recently redeemed myself after expressing a dislike of Paul Scholes....
Izzy Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 I think I've only recently redeemed myself after expressing a dislike of Paul Scholes.... You're a top poster Bovril, but I think you found yourself in a small minority that day mate
bovril Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 You're a top poster Bovril, but I think you found yourself in a small minority that day mate If only this was set to an Andrea Bocelli soundtrack!
nobby.bk Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 What a way to celebrate the incredible season. I think the atmosphere of the final game at King Power will be nothing but amazing.
massimo Posted 6 May 2016 Posted 6 May 2016 I'm glad they put the feelers out and got someone good... I'd expect the Italian connection with Ranieri. It's great stuff indeed.... He'll touch your heart... I'm sure
MrSpaM Posted 6 May 2016 Posted 6 May 2016 I heard a few rumours that Stormzy is joining Bocelli at half time. Tell my man SHUT UP!
Guest Col city fan Posted 6 May 2016 Posted 6 May 2016 I do hope 'stormzy' joins Bocelli half way through the song. It'd be great to have yet another beautifully worded and voiced number ruined by yet another fookin rapper.
aussie-fox Posted 6 May 2016 Posted 6 May 2016 There's always that 1 guy who wants to sing at the party
dorsetboy Posted 6 May 2016 Posted 6 May 2016 Hope sky show him do the full 3 songs he is doing this blokes concerts sell out in minutes I think he has sold something like 100 million albums .
RanieriRoad Posted 6 May 2016 Posted 6 May 2016 Now you need to learn Nessun dorma in italian Greetings from Italy Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore e di speranza... Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me, il nome mio nessun saprà! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò, quando la luce splenderà! Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia. Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò!
les-tah Posted 6 May 2016 Posted 6 May 2016 Hope sky show him do the full 3 songs he is doing this blokes concerts sell out in minutes I think he has sold something like 100 million albums . i was thinking this.. really hoping sky show this.
