The Italian superfan Laura Fontana who maintained a social media microsite of all her hero’s doings has sadly passed away after sveralweeks of hospital care.

Laura, ever polite and appreciative, will be widely missed.

This was one of her favourite promo videos.

    what a voice he had
    may be his voice wouldn t sound so different now if he wouldn’t gain so much weight in recent years

      Maryse (it is you, isn’t it?), you seem really obsessed about it. You don’t like this guy’s singing and looks anymore, fine, why don’t you find yourself some new idol (how about Tetelman, he’ll be perfect in that role) and give Kaufmann a break?
      And you make such remarks on the occasion of the death of Laura, a nice and cultured person? Kaufmann is 54 years old, he has been singing professionally for 30 years, he sang heavy repertoire, he had a serious vocal crisis in 2016 so he does not sound like he used to, this is normal. And his weight gain is mainly the result of the medications he has to take. So just stop trolling.

    Her page was getting too encomiastic for my taste , but the pains she took to translate various stuff on JK from Italian into English deserve all praise. RIP.
