Michele Merlo's parents released a note with a video thanking everyone and inviting him to publish it "Without neglecting anyone, especially you who will give voice to Michele forever", write the singer's parents.
"Michele is our son but he is also your artist - they say -, the artist many times misunderstood and forgotten by some, the artist with a torment of emotions inside that he was able to vent with his songs, because this was the only way he felt he was Michele".
"Today, at 5pm, we will all give him a last farewell and whoever wants to can publish this video message that he has dedicated first of all to himself and that we are sure he dreamed of sharing with you too. I'd like you to publish it and broadcast it at 5pm, so my wife and I will feel less alone "
