Pavarotti In Shock Granny-Conning Final Gig!
Pavarotti was probably the world's most popular fat man. He delighted the elderly around the world as his enormous lungs belted out classical number after classical number.
While we get told that we’ll die unless we loose a few rolls of flab, Pavarotti was celebrated for being a famously fat tenor.
It was well-known before he went to the giant concert hall in the sky that he was suffering from ill health. But the old dog battled through and made a final performance for the Winter Olympics in Turin in 2006. Now the conductor on the night, Leone Magiera, has revealed that the ex-porker was doing an Ashlee Simpson and miming. Though he made it a bit more convincing.
As we all know, rubbish pop stars use backing tracks to help them. Amusingly for us, it can be quite funny when it goes a bit wonky. We all remember Ashlee Simpson’s ill-fated appearance on Saturday Night Live, when it all fell flat on its arse.
And now we’ve been told that the late, great Pavarotti did the same thing. What’s next? They're going to tell us that some DJs just press play on their computers and fiddle around with various buttons and knobs all night?
That's too hard to believe, but to pull off a fake orchestral performance, complete with conductor as well as a miming singer, well that takes a lot of skill to pull off.
Magiera has said:
"The orchestra pretended to play, I pretended to conduct and Luciano pretended to sing. It came off beautifully. No one was aware of the technical tricks. His voice was nearly intact. He found the strength to repeat it until he was completely satisfied. Then, he fell back on his wheelchair and closed his eyes, exhausted."
You know what? Full respect to the bloke for doing so. For starters, he was crippled with the cancer, which finally took his life, plus he’d had previous health scares. While we can’t be arsed to do most things on a daily basis, Pavarotti came through, so he disappointed no one.
The performance went so smoothly that everyone was none the wiser. Though with recent politics outshining the upcoming games, no doubt some idiot protester will cry into his onion soup tonight.
