Italian pop's 'eternal golden boy' Gianni Morandi turned 80 on Wednesday having just released his latest album.
    Morandi, the son of a cobbler from Emilia-Romagna, has taken part in the San Remo Song Contest seven times, and won it in a trio with Enrico Ruggeri and Umberto Tozzi in 1987 with Si Può Dare Di Più.
    Overall, he is estimated to have sold over 50 million records.
    Morandi, who is still a mainstay of the Italian musicians' soccer team, celebrated his birthday in Lisbon along with his wife Anna Dan, for a Champions League match between his beloved Bologna and Sporting Lisbon.
    The album Attrazione (Attraction), written with his long-time friend and collaborator Jovanotti, looks back at his 60-year career.
    "A life at 100 kph", said the evergreen crooner on his Facebook page at the stroke of midnight in a post that drew a todal wave of likes.
