Andrea Bocelli Instagram – As the great Tolstoy said, “time” and “patience” are the strongest duo around… And in a much meeker, more prosaic way, this Italian tenor confirms it. I’m pleased to tell you that my voice is back, as I will confirm today on “Good Morning America”. I’m doubly honored and grateful because in my heart, I am already at Madison Square Garden, where I’ll be singing to celebrate Christmas on Wednesday and Thursday. I want to embrace New York and the entire nation in song, thanking them again for their love, and also for their patience. Speaking of patience, it’s a virtue I’ve had to practice recently by stopping and listening silently to what my body needed: some time to recover from a winter cold. And since we’re between friends – friends whose supportive messages have moved me and given me strength in these difficult days – I confess that there’s a special, private place I visit habitually, where I can assess my voice with the same certainty a panel of specialists provides. I’m referring to the shower, where I tested a medical report before having it confirmed by the experts. Now that time has cured me, the patience that has just been rewarded is being put to the test again: I can’t wait to see you again and celebrate the triumph of life and the sweet takeover of the Holy Christmas spirit together.
