Yoshihiro Akiyama
Bocelli and Sarah Brightman's duet version of "Con te partirò" was used in the 2007 film "Blades of Glory", as an ice skating song. K-1 mixed martial arts fighter Yoshihiro Akiyama started using "Con te partirò" as his ring entrance music. On 8 September, Bocelli sang an arrangement of Mozart's "Ave verum corpus" at the funeral of Luciano Pavarotti in Modena, Italy.
