Pooh, one of Italy's oldest and most
popular pop groups, are to reunite for the Sanremo Song Festival
next month, organizers said Monday.
The three surviving members of the band, who lost a member in
November 2020, will be reunited with long-time solo artist and
former lead vocalist Riccardo Fogli on the first night of the
annual pop extravaganza on February 7, said organizer and
presenter Amadeus.
Fogli, along with Roby Facchinetti, Dodi Battaglia and Red
Canzian, will perform a medley of hits in memory of Stefano
D'Orizio, he said.
Facchinetti said "it was a big yes to Amadeus's invite.
"That stage if really magical, in 1990 we won with 'Uomini Soli'
(Men Alone), then we went back as guests, then we presnted our
reunion for the first time in 2016 there".
Pooh, all of whose members are in their seventies, formed in
1966 in Bologna. Over the course of their career, Pooh have sold
over 100 million records. Some of the band's most popular songs
include "Parsifal", "Dove comincia il sole" (Where The Sun
Begins) and "Pensiero" (Thought).
