Singer shocks fans
Umberto Tozzi: “There never was a real Gloria”
More than 45 (!) years after his global hit "Gloria", Italian pop and rock star Umberto Tozzi (72) has finally done away with a legend.
"There never was a real Gloria. It was just a word that sounded fantastically good in this musical riff," the Italo pop star told the newspaper "Corriere della Sera". The song from 1979 is one of Tozzi's best-known songs.
Dream girl named Gloria
In the classic, Tozzi sings longingly about a dream woman named Gloria, whom he "misses like the air". However, there never was a real Gloria, as Tozzi now reveals. "I remember that this song was born on a sad and cold afternoon," said the Italian. He was playing around on a wall-mounted piano when the idea for the song, which is popular with Italy fans, came to him.
Tozzi is currently on his farewell tour "L'ultima notte rosa", which runs until October 2025. In February, for example, he will perform in Bregenz and Vienna. The Italian will also be performing his classics at the concerts, including his worldwide hit "Ti amo" (I love you) from 1977.
