Riccardo Fogli, host of Sunday Live, expressed his sorrow for the death of Stefano D’Orazio. The artist, together with Barbara D’Urso, retraced some of the moments lived with the dead Pooh drummer on November 6 due to Covid-19. In tears he explained how heartbreaking it was to learn that he was not well and then the tragic news of his death.
The emotion of Riccardo Fogli
Riccardo Fogli stated that in the last few days all the members of Pooh have kept in constant contact: “Between us, crying, we communicated that Stefano was sick … and from there“The singer was moved and explained that they tried to keep the news of the death confidential as long as possible:
“We kept everything secret. We wanted no one to know anything. […] The fact that Stefano couldn’t even give Tiziana a caress (the wife, ed), I think it is the thing that most destroys those in love. The idea of dying alone when you have cultivated friendship and love all your life. A man does not deserve to die alone. “
Riccardo Fogli remembers Stefano D’Orazio
Riccardo Fogli is back in his mind to the first meeting with Stefano D’Orazio. According to reports, the drummer used to wear boots and a hat. It would have been difficult to convince him to at least give up his hat: “He also wanted to wear the hat on stage. It was transgressive. Our producer fought a lot to get him to take it off. The Poohs don’t have a hat.”. Finally, Fogli recalled the reunion at the Sanremo Festival 2016:
“In the reunion in Sanremo I found a different man, very solid, intellectual. He was very prepared. That’s the way Poohs are. Alone they are fuckers, but when they are together they are a company, you can’t go beyond times and so on. Roby, Dodi and Red worked on Stefano and me, but with tenderness and lightness, to convince us to participate in the reunion. I couldn’t wait. It didn’t take them long to convince me. “
