Shock in Rome as pianist dies while making food deliveries
mainThe Italian pianist Adriano Urso has died of a heart attack while making food deliveries for Just Eat. The cause of death was a heart attack. Adriano was 41.
His brother Emanuele Urso, 37, said Adriano is a ‘symbol of how Italy has forgotten its musicians during the COVID pandemic.’
Adriano’s band says: Adriano Urso was one of the greatest, most fun and gifted musicians we’ve ever met, admired on stage, and had the privilege to share it with. His sudden passing is a big shock and still very hard to grasp. This year has taken a great toll on us all, and we must be brave and have faith we’ll get our lives and our stages back, to honor his memory. Our deepest condolences to his family and his brother Emanuele. Il nostro pensiero è con voi.
How very sad. I was mourning Captain Tom earlier today. but when you think he lived over twice as long…it’s a bleak time.
What a tragedy! These few minutes of „The man I love“ show what a wonderful musician he was.
Musicians are forgotten in this crisis, but what would life be without music? An error (Nietzsche)
R.I.P.
Heart attack? Italian?? I thought Mediterranean diet and olive oil are healthy. RIP
May his family find peace
So very sorry – a good man.
Such sadness. “His brother Emanuele Urso, 37, said Adriano is a ‘symbol of how Italy has forgotten its musicians during the COVID pandemic.” I would like to amend this and substitute Italy for most of the world! WHen COVID is finally conquered, what kind of world will we live in?
Very sad news but unfortunately this is not uncommon amongst delivery drivers of these (modern?) food delivery businesses; the incredible pressures put on these drivers make it nothing short of modern day slavery:
