Caparezza has to say goodbye to long tours but it is not a retreat

An endless whistle.

Which has lasted at least seven years and which gives no respite to

, or

.

This is

, a hearing disorder with which the artist struggles to live and which has forced him to limit his concerts.

No more tours of 50 dates, but no retreats on the horizon.

Yes, because after an interview with QN in which he explained that there would not be a resumption of the tour in the fall, the alarm was raised among fans on the web for his farewell to the scenes.

But from his entourage they throw water on the fire: Caparezza slows down, but does not stop the music either in the studio or live.

And after the twenty dates of the Exuvia tour in the summer, starting tomorrow from Bologna, he is back to work for a new album and for a new tour to come.

And maybe even to comics, a passion that never subsided, as he revealed today.

Several times in recent years Caparezza had talked about the disease that afflicts him: he had also written about it in the song Larsen of 2017 ("The ear whistles, the tinnitus rages; In the head vuvuzela not the ukulele; My resistance is the Zulu one, yields ").

"It happened suddenly - he explained in" Stories ", the cycle of interviews with the protagonists of last year's Sky TG24 show -: I have always had a slight tinnitus, imperceptible, like many musicians, it almost kept me company. Now in my head there is this constant whistling. I threw myself into the medical intelligentsia, but

.

All the roads I have taken have led me to the failure of this thing, so I tell those with tinnitus to be very patient, to feed it and hope that one day a cure will come out that works. "

Tinnitus is a disorder characterized by the perception of sounds, such as buzzing, whistling, hissing or rustling, not linked to external stimuli, for which there is no single effective cure for all types of tinnitus: in cases where it is possible to to trace a possible cause, it is necessary to intervene on that.

But in the case of Caparezza the disturbances depend on the live activity.

"All good things end up taking something away from you - he said in the interview with QN -. To me this continuous whistle changed my hearing. When I discovered that I could no longer listen to music on headphones, I went into crisis, thinking about my body as in a prison ".
