An all-round interview with Verissimo for Gianluca Grignani. The singer talked about everything: the relationship with the record companies and that with his children, the separation from Francesca Dall'Oglio and the death of a dear friend from leukemia.
And most importantly, he first revealed the abuse suffered by a pedophile when he was a child. An experience that has "changed him forever".
“In 1982, when I was eleven, I had a meeting with a pedophile. He sat on top of me and asked me to have a relationship with him. 'But don't you like girls?', I told him ”, his story.
But "this person couldn't get what he wanted from me - said Grignani - and that's why he hit me".
The singer's parents have decided not to report him: “They were wrong. My mother would have liked, my father, I don't know why, he preferred not to. A mistake, some people should not be forgiven ”.
Since that time "my smile has become more bitter, I have felt guilty and this feeling is wrong".
Today “finally” he talks about it with freedom and lightness. “I'm in a strange phase of life. I am very free and that is why I get excited and cry so easily in front of all of Italy, despite my figure. They are liberating cries ”.
