Andrea Bocelli,(born 22 September 1958) is an Italian tenor and singer-songwriter. Born with poor eyesight, he became blind at the age of twelve following an association football accident.
Bocelli was born to Alessandro and Edi Bocelli, even though they were advised to abort him.
He has stated that his mother's decision to give birth to him and overrule the doctor's advice was the inspiration for him to hold a pro-life view towards abortion. They lived on the family farm, selling farm machinery and making wine in the small village of La Sterza, a frazione of Lajatico, Tuscany, Italy, about 40 km south of Pisa.
Bocelli's mother and younger brother Alberto still live in the family home. Bocelli's father died in 2000.

As a young boy, Bocelli showed a great passion for music. His mother has said that music was the only thing that would comfort him.
At the age of six, he started piano lessons, and later, also learned to play the flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar and drums. Then, when his nanny, Oriana, gave him the first record of Franco Corelli, he realized that pursuing the career of a tenor was his destiny.
By seven, he was able to recognize the famous voices of the time and tried to emulate the great interpreters.

Loss of sight :
It was evident at birth that Bocelli had numerous problems with his sight, and after visits to many doctors, he was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma. In 1970, at the age of 12, he lost his sight completely following an accident during a football game. He was accidentally hit on the head during a match and suffered a brain hemorrhage. Doctors resorted to leeches in a desperate last-ditch effort to save his sight, but they were unsuccessful, and he remained blind

La Voce del Silenzio - Andrea Bocelli.
Volevo stare un po' da solo
per pensare tu lo sai,
ed ho sentito nel silenzio
una voce dentro me
e tornan vive tante cose
che credevo morte ormai.....
e chi ho tanto amato
dal mare del silenzio
ritorna come un'onda
nei miei occhi, e quello che mi manca
nel mare del silenzio
mi manca sai molto di più
Ci sono cose in un silenzio
che non aspettavo mai
... vorrei una voce,
ed improvvisamente
ti accorgi che il silenzio
ha il volto delle cose che hai
perduto
ed io ti sento amore
ti sento nel mio cuore
stai riprendendo il posto che
tu non avevi perso mai
che non avevi perso mai
che non avevi perso mai.
volevo stare un po' da solo
per pensare tu lo sai
ma ci son cose in un silenzio
che non m'aspettavo mai
... vorrei una voce
ed improvvisamente
ti accorgi che il silenzio
ha il volto delle cose che hai
perduto
ed io ti sento amore
ti sento nel mio cuore
stai riprendendo il posto che
tu non avevi perso mai
tu non avevi perso mai
tu non avevi perso...
tu non avevi perso... mai.
