Andrea Bocelli sues US private jet company
NewsThe Italian singer is seeking $569,000 from Private Jet Services, which allegedly flew him in aircraft that were more than four years old.
What’s more, they made an inflight announcement about turbulence ahead, as required by law.
Bocelli, 64, has a fear of flying and a terror of such warnings. He also hates engine noise.
Really? He’s suing because they did their job. He can use boats n trains. Idiot.
Be careful or the Woko-Haram will come and say that you are insulting a disabled person.
One of the most ridiculous things I have ever read. If you have a fear of flying then don’t fly.
What has happened to people?
Could be the Attention-At-Any-Price-Syndrom. A lot of people are suffering from it. Seems to be slowly becoming a widespread pandemic in the industry.
Oh, for heaven’s sakes, then why fly? Just stay home. What a privileged dolt.
As someone who worked on jet engines a good part of my career, I don’t much care for the noise Andrea Bocelli makes either. So there!
As a classical musician, I agree with you!
@Dave.
To the best of my knowledge he hasn’t sung a concert in tune for over 15 years.
But he’s flying private jets. What does that say about humanity?
Brilliant response,
Clearly an extremely mentally ill individual as well as an overpromoted untalented hack. No wonder he performed for Trump.
What an insulting remark to both talented men in their own right, they have shown..for the contribution’s they have made
one for his God given talent to musical entertainment, and the other, for serving his country as a President, pulling us out a deep hole of misery, without excepting a salary @ all and put up with horrible thankless persecution.
The plane flights… is a bit picky, but if it was in a contract, then it should be honored, it’s not a flight to to Florida for 300. bucks it’s a lot of money!!
I just smell a dirty rotten lawyer here.
How absolutely silly.
He’s marking an ambit claim and hoping the company will settle out of court.
If they are required by law to announce turbulence, he has no contractual grounds to overrule this.
I think he has received poor legal advice.
It could cost him …
@Terence.
It serves him right.
WAAAAHHHH!!!!
Big, bad, superstar is afraid of flying, so what does he do? He flies, complains about it, then sues the jet service.
What a jerk.
He would have a far better case suing his singing teacher.
Whiny brat wasting the court’s time. It’s a private jet, with engines. That make big boy noise. And a warning that could save you from injury.
When some people became famous and rich I guess their humbleness subsided
At last! A worthy successor to Kathleen-tell-my-driver-to-turn-off-the-aircon-Battle.
What a waste of time and money for all.
Sued the Italian restaurant lately, after they had the audacity to serve tomato sauce with the pasta, but I can’t stand tomato sauce. Cretins!
Obviously his fear of flying is smaller than his sense of money.
Had he had an actual clause that guarantees a certain modern aircraft, there would be no lawsuit necessary. But that would have cost him much more upfront.
Also his fear of flying is apparently not as big as his willingness to charter small private jets, since both noise and turbulence are much less in first class in bigger commercial airliners.
Pompous first world whiner.
Fly first class next time and donate the savings for a good cause.
The only thing wrong with this report is to describe Bocelli as a singer
Why should he be allowed to fly on one of those CO2 belching contraptions at all? Anybody want to guess what the carbon footprint of all his caterwalling escapades are?
Very well said, Bigfoot!! Much ado about nothing……
Maybe his audiences should sue him. He was in my city a while back and he lip synced the entire concert. There was one number where the orchestra part was in the wrong key so the conductor said, you can transpose it, or if you want you can just mime to a the track……so there was one number where every single person on stage was faking to a recording.
Why is it rich people like to sue.
He should fly EL AL first class.
Good security and good food.
Poverino!
Also, they didn’t give him a window seat.
Another opportunity to make a breaking news line for being an overestimated eclipsed artist who even would like to pass his „glorious carrier” to his son. Hearing ignorants putting him next to Pavarotti makes me mad!
