In a statement Bocelli said:
“I cannot help but smile when thinking about the upcoming concert in Central Park,” while adding, ”It was my father’s dream, and my father was right, because my artistic path would have been entirely different without the strong and sincere embrace of this extraordinary city where everything is possible, even when it seems impossible.”Following the concert Bocelli will perform in various U.S. cities including Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas.
