“My life changed forever, ending with that phone call.” With these words Andrea Delogu he remembers and relives the day he learned of the death of his brother Evan, who died in a tragic car accident. Before an appearance on Dancing with the Stars, the presenter said: “I found out through my dad calling me, he used just the right words so as not to shock me… I can never thank him enough.”
“There’s nothing to add because he’s a part of me, he was and he is now. This is the last time I talk about my brother on camera, it happened… anyone who hasn’t experienced it. I hope they don’t actually experience it because they can only imagine… anyone who has experienced it knows what I’m talking about,” he added. “My life ended with that phone call – continues Delogu – now another call has begun. The world has collapsed, but I have to move forward”. “This grief should be private, and I want to experience this pain alone.”
After the performance, a waltz with maestro Nikita Perotti which ended with Delogu crying and a standing ovation from the audience, the jury commented. “Tonight you celebrated the frightening normalcy that continues to live, this touched us deeply. None of us considered it out of tune, I considered this humility as courage”, said Selvaggia Lucarelli.
