Andrea Bocelli - is that the right way to spell his name?
Yes. Andrea is the Italian version of Andrew - so in Italy is very much a masculine name. He's not Andreas, Andres or Andre, although depending on where you are from that may be what your country people call him. Bocelli is spelled as seen here. It's not a name non-Italians are used to writing, so you may well see it misspelled as Bocceli, Boccelli, Bochelli or Bocielli - I've even seen people calling him everything from Bucelli to Bottecelli (maybe confused with Botticelli the painter?).

Is Andrea Bocelli blind?
Yes. Andrea Bocelli went blind during his childhood. He was diagnosed with glaucoma and entirely lost his remaining sight as a result of a soccer game accident. As he learned to cope in a world without sight, music became his life. He can open his eyes but generally sings with his eyes closed.

Where is Andrea Bocelli from?
He comes from the beautiful region of Tuscany in Italy and has spent his life there as part of a close-knit family.

Is Andrea Bocelli married?
He has been married, and had 2 children with his first wife Enrica. He now lives with his fiancee Veronica in a seaside town in northern Tuscany, close to his former wife and their children.
