The French met him in 2016 when he captivated coaches and the public on the stage of The Voice. On this date, everything changed for Claudio Capeo and his accordion. However, his adventure in the show TF1 hosted by Nikos Aliagas will stop in the next round of battles. Despite this short career, the artist managed to build his career which is today crowned with success. However, it was not won.
Indeed, in the past, Claudio Capeo experienced complicated times and had to live with little money. This also led the person who was mocked for his cover of Celine Dion to panhandle in the metro. But by making such revelations, and with the release of his title A man standing, whose words are unequivocal, his fans have long thought that he was homeless. But that’s not the case. “I was not homeless like in the song, but I begged by singing music. These are sincere words. We have been around this misery. If we can open people’s eyes , that’s good. It may seem naive, but it’s important”he confided in the show Our unknown landson October 25, 2022.
“People wanted to imagine that I was homeless. I was in the metro, I begged, I didn’t have empty pockets either.”@claudiocapeoguest of @vincent_parizot, @marioncalais, @izachoc And @StevenBellery In #RTLGood evening! ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/qZ2dFpCa6C

Claudio Capeo and his umpteenth update on his “homeless life”
Comments that he made again during his visit to RTL
this Friday, September 29. After discussing the situation of migrants and ensuring that they are “like us”the one who recently changed his look was questioned about his potential homeless life. “A lot of people thought you had been in this homeless situation yourself.”, asked our colleagues. The opportunity for the main interested party to make yet another clarification.
“So not at all! And I’ve always said it. Of course, there are people who wanted to imagine all that. Who wanted to go further into the imagination”he immediately corrected before specifying: “Why not, because sometimes it also feels good to think a little elsewhere. But no, quite simply I was in the metro, I begged, I didn’t have empty pockets either. I was still able to meet them, talk with them. I can tell you that they are often the most generous. And then, it was people especially who made me sad. Because I said to myself ‘ they are there, we see them every day but no one is interested… So of course there are associations, people who are mobilizing for all that. But I told myself that in song it would go better, especially for children”. A way of denying, once again, the fact that he was homeless.
