What happened to Tiziano Ferro: the Italian singer who called Mexican women "bigotonas"

Tiziano Ferro had a large audience in Mexico. In 2004 your song Afternoon black put him at the top of the popularity charts but a unfortunate commentary on Mexican women He sent him into oblivion, at least in this country.

This February 21st, Titian will be 39 years old. "New wrinkles and the ability to shut up at the right time ", he wrote on his Instagram account to accompany the video where he is seen putting out the candles on his cake.

This ability to be silent at the right time was not demonstrated the day he talked about Mexican women. It was in 2006 and the Italian singer was introduced to a show in his country, Che Tempo Fai, from the RAI.

"It is not possible to say that Mexican women are the most beautiful women in the world, with all due respect, because they are bigotones. I understand and I'm sorry, but even they know it themselves, "said Tiziano to the surprise of the show's conductor, who said the Mexicans were the most beautiful in the world.

Ferro did not stop and convict "but how much, Salma Hayek, I saw only one? "

Maybe the singer thought his comments would be there, but they came Mexico, where his words provoked outrage.

Conscious of the damage that the scandal could cause to his career, Tiziano said: "It was a comic program, it was not serious statements,It's stupid to think that I'm thinking of the Mexican woman. I hope you will forgive me and Mexico will give me a new opportunity. I am a human being, I am wrong and I was wrong. I will pay, I know"

In October 2006, still not recovering from the scandal, Titian told the newspaper The day what he did was immature. "I'd like to see the light at the end of the tunnel… it has arrived at the most important place: Mexico was my home after Italy. "

Tiziano continued his career in the musical world. In 2009, he released the album in Spanish At my age and in 2011, Love is a simple thing.

However, he has again given something to talk about 2010 but not for his songs, but for the publication of his autobiography in which revealed to be homobadual.

Trent & # 39; anni e chiacchierata with potato (Thirty years and a conversation with dad) is the name of the book in which Titian wrote: "I want to fall in love with a man."

In a previous interview for Vanity Fair, Tiziano revealed that for a while he was not well and that it took him a few years to badyze certain things like his relationship with homobaduality.

In 2017, Tiziano released the album The office of life, but his most recent albums have never achieved the popularity of Red parent (2002) and 111 hundred and eleven (2003).

Ferro usually shares pictures of his daily life with his family or friends on his Instagram account. He also reports on his musical activities and generally looks smiling. What he – at least recently – has not published are photographs with a couple.

You can see it during his travels or with other personalities of the music, such as members of Il Volo or a souvenir image with Dolores O. Riordan.

In his last publication, he wrote that I accept miracles, his new album, will be released in Italian next November.
