Zucchero (“Sugar”) is Italy’s most beloved rock star and one of the top Italian artists worldwide, having sold 40 million records over three decades. As a singer-songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist, Zucchero has collaborated with the royalty of international rock, blues, R&B, jazz and classical music — from Bono, Sting and Eric Clapton to Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker and Solomon Burke to Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli. On October 4, Decca Records will release the North American edition of Zucchero’s Chocabeck, a new album co-produced with Don Was (the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan) and Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen) that includes English lyrics by Bono, Iggy Pop and Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears.
