Roger Federer bursts into tears at Andrea Bocelli concert

Roger Federer’s retirement from tennis in September 2022 does not mean that the Swiss has stayed away from the stage. If a few months ago we saw him singing with Chris Martin at the Coldplay concert in Zurich, yesterday the tennis player accepted the invitation of Andrea Bocelli to join him for his final performance in the Swiss city.

The “living legend”, as Bocelli announced it, was thrilled to hear the Italian tenor perform ‘Nessun Dorma’, the great hit premiered by Giacomo Puccini in Milan in 1926. At the end, Federer applauded and the two embraced, before the blind singer escorted the 20-time major champion to the exit.

Federer recently explained that he was coming from the Elton John concert when he received the message from Chris Martin. It was his daughter who convinced him to go out and sing with the British band. “My daughter said, ‘Of course you should do it. You only live once,'” revealed the Basel native, who also confessed that “I enjoyed it, but I don’t need those anxious moments anymore.”
