Andrea Bocelli is widely considered one of the most talented singers alive today. Now, his 21 year-old son Matteo is following in his footsteps and becoming a successful singer in his own right!

Andrea and Matteo teamed up this week to sing a duet on “Dancing With The Stars,” and they left viewers speechless with how well they performed!

The father and son performed their new song “Fall On Me” from the upcoming movie The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. By the time they were done, nearly everyone in the room was in tears from the sheer power of their performance!

Andrea recently opened up about what “Fall On Me” means to him as a dad, and about how proud he is of his son.

“Matteo was raised on ‘bread and music.’ While in high school, he also studied piano at the conservatory (where he is now studying opera),” Andrea said. “He is passionate about opera and has already performed in serious venues. He seems inclined to follow his father’s footsteps, even though an artistic career is made up of many things, at times unknowable, and cannot certainly be devised at the drawing table. Plus, he’s barely 20 years old.”

“But I believe ‘Fall on Me’ is a promising start besides being for both of us a highly emotional experience… because it actually is about us. The song gives voice to a son who is growing and just taking his first steps in life, with doubts and uncertainties, and to a father that reassures him, that helps him spread his wings, a father that tries — with all of the love in his heart — to transmit strong values; to give answers,” he added. “I have tried to transmit to Matteo, as well as to my eldest son Amos (who recently earned a degree in Aerospace Engineering) values that I believe in and that have made me who I am, but we have different voices and different life experiences. His talent is exclusively his – it’s not something that a father can ‘transmit.'”

Matteo clearly has a long career ahead of him! Check out their performance in the video below!
