Patrizio Buanne chats to I Like Music

I'm not the perfect guy. I don't want to be a sex symbol, I'll leave that job to Ricky Martin. I'm not spending more time in the gym than I would learning songs. But I do understand why I might be a role model, because girls like me and guys might want to be like me, which is all right. Because I'm trying, not to just have success with my music, but to change or add something in society. I'm not saying 'don't do this, don't do that', I'm saying, 'you could do this, and you could do that'.

ILM: The Pope and The Queen are said to be fans. Have you met them?

PATRIZIO: I met the late Pope in 1997. I was singing for him and he gave me a blessing. The Queen, I didn't meet personally, but I was singing for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, and I met the Duke, Prince Phillip, and I gave him a record and had a little chat. It was protocol not to have your hands in your pockets and not to step forward, so I almost said, 'this is for your wife,' when I gave him the record. But we had a very nice chat. I said 'I also have an award in your country, I have a Gold record.'
