Lucio Dalla, one of Italy’s most prolific singer-songwriters, died Thursday in Switzerland during a European concert tour, Washington post reported.
Dalla, 68, apparently died of a heart attack in a Montreux hotel after eating breakfast, according to his agency, Ph.D srl Music Management, which is based in Dalla’s native city of Bologna, Italy.
Dalla’s haunting melody “Caruso” sold 9 million copies worldwide and was sung by the late opera great Luciano Pavarotti with Dalla at a 1992 concert in Modena.
