(AP Photo/Luca Bruno, File)ROME Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, who had COVID-19, said the pandemic lockdown made him feel humiliated and offended by depriving him of his freedom to come and go as he wanted.

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli is staunchly defending opera legend Placido Domingo, calling it "absurd" that opera houses have canceled the star's performances over sexual harassment allegations before they are fully investigated. "I am still appalled at what happened to this incredible artist," Bocelli said. Bocelli spoke to The Associated Press through an Italian translator during an interview at his Miami-area home. Bocelli and Domingo are credited with injecting new energy into opera during times when its popularity had dwindled. "Today, it risks being an elite phenomenon, and this is a pity because opera was born for the people."
