Andrea Bocelli sings with Virginia Bocelli, 10, at the Royal Albert Hall

Andrea Bocelli has been traveling the world with his equally talented sons, who have performed alongside their father on tour. In fact, Virginia Bocelli, 10, and Matteo Bocelli, 25, recently released a festive family album featuring the 64-year-old.
Earlier this year, the maestro performed outside Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
After singing Nessun Dorma at the show, he said: “A milestone that exceeded all expectations, even the most optimistic; a celebration whose very name is suffused with joy and solemnity: the entire world stopped to toast the Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years since the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. I had already had the privilege of performing at Her Majesty’s 90th birthday concert, and it is with renewed excitement that I made my contribution to this historic event at Buckingham Palace, alongside some of the best-known musicians of our time.”
Now, after the queen’s death, Bocelli had the honor of performing for his son the king at the Royal Albert Hall last night.
The special concert was the Annual Festival of Remembrance, which was part of this weekend’s tributes to those who died in the war.
Between various performances, the Italian tenor took the stage with Matteo and Virginia to sing his new Christmas song, The Greatest Gift, live. The track appears on his album A Family Christmas, which is out now.

At the time, Bocelli told us, “Virginia is nine years old. She loves music. She likes to sing. She studies piano. She does artistic gymnastics at a competitive level. She is in tune and naturally grew up with ‘bread and music’, just like her siblings. At the moment, sharing the stage with her father is little more than a game for her, as it should be, since she is still a child. Studying music is always useful in any case. But I think it is essential that children realize their aspirations, taking advantage of their talents, regardless of the ambitions of their parents.”
