Boyle to duet with Andrea Bocelli
29/12/2009 - 10:19
Susan Boyle is set to perform a duet with opera legend Andrea Bocelli on a new ITV1 show, after outselling him in the US album charts.
The Sun reports that the Britain's Got Talent sensation will join the Italian tenor on Pop Star To Opera Star, in which pop stars tackle operatic arias.
And it comes as the 48-year-old's debut album I Dreamed A Dream shocked record company execs by keeping Bocelli's latest release, My Christmas, off the top of the US album charts.
"Susan has held Andrea off the top of the US charts for weeks - it's incredible," a source said.
"But he holds no grudges - he joked that he 'must sing with this amazing woman'."
Bocelli, who is blind, has sold over 70 million records worldwide and also appeared as a guest mentor on American Idol.
His most famous songs include Time To Say Goodbye - which he originally recorded with Sarah Brightman - and The Prayer.
