Vita gazette – Al Bano was a great admirer of the leader, he stresses Putin’s life is in serious danger: “He should be careful about his life, precisely on the part of those who until a few months ago idolized and served him, at least this is my thought. In short, the Russian leader should fear his (former) friends perhaps more than his enemies “.

“How can you not change your mind against Putin after what he did?” Al Bano, “Un Giorno da Pecora on Radio Rai 1,” said: “I would never have imagined such a step from him, I was a great admirer of his but you cannot set in motion a war machine of that kind against his brothers. Tell him ‘stop while you have time. He is also working against himself, he is not defending anything, in the eyes of the world, he is destroying his image. It is not acceptable to see what is happening in Ukraine, with attacks also on hospitals, tanks and children dying. No, this is not acceptable. I also have several Russian friends, very important men. One of them told me that the situation is a real mess’. According to him, Putin’s life is in serious danger: “He should be careful with his life, precisely on the part of those who until a few months ago idolized and served him, at least this is my thought”. In short, the Russian leader should fear his (former) friends perhaps more than his enemies.” Al Bano said he also cancelled his concerts in Russia in October.
