I don't think so and I feel like I just had an epiphany and a catharsis all at the same time!

Nowhere else but PBS.

Well thank you very much, Justin, you know I wouldn't want to be anywhere else besides than right here with all of you.
You know, this special is so uplifting it's easy to be effervescent.
Yeah.
The title of the last song we heard translates to 'Brother Sun, Sister Moon'... It was written for Franco Zefferelli's beautiful film about the life of St. Francis of Assisi, and it really speaks to Bocelli's exploration of transformative power of faith and spirituality.
It's amazing!
So beautiful.
And there's is so much more ahead from Andrea Bocelli, stay tuned.
