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.
