Being a rebel teenager in Italy in the 80s meant only one thing for me: listening and playing blues songs by Zucchero Fornaciari aka Zucchero (which is the Italian for Sugar – his real name is Adelmo Forniciari). At 62 he has sold more than 50 million records worldwide and has become one of the biggest rock stars in Italy and in the international rock & blues scene. 30 years down the line I am at the BBC studios in London talking heart-to-heart to my teenage idol about his latest album Wanted, which includes a collection of his biggest hits, collaborations with some of pop music’s biggest legends, duets, live gigs and behind-the-scenes documentaries.
With Zucchero I felt immediately at home. He is from my region, Emilia-Romagna, and one of the most genuine people with the biggest talent and passion for blues I have ever come across.

Get lost in a real life journey of Benjamin Mee, a man who did the unthinkable and brought a zoo back to life and his family together. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents We bought a zoo, arrived on Blu-ray and DVD on 16 July, 2012. A feel good movie, one of the best family feel good movies I have seen in years. At times you want to cry at young widower Matt Damon, at times hilarious situations make you laugh. It’s definitely a movie for the whole family that teaches you to be brave in life, and that 20 seconds of insane bravery can be really rewarding in life.
