On Tuesday, legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli was rewarded for his contributions to music with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. Despite losing his sight to glaucoma at age 12, Bocelli won his first song competition at 14, completed law school, and has gone on to become one of the most esteemed vocalist in history.
His classical recordings include “Viaggio Italiano,” “Aria — The Opera Album,” “Sacred Arias”; “Il Trovatore” and Massenet’s “Werther.” Bocelli’s most recent album, My Christmas, spent six weeks at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart.
