The amazing vocalist of Banco has died in an auto accident, if I understand correctly.

Awful news :( But well, this is life, and while I am still hanging around, I will deeply remember the beauties he did with BdMS.

Just heard the news. Such a loss, even at his age. Media are pointing to him falling ill at the wheel and driving in the wrong lane.

One of the defining and most recognizable voices in Italian progressive music.
Thanks for so many wonderful albums we'll treasure forever. |
