Damiano David: Last News

It's been a whirlwind year for Eurovision 2021 winners Måneskin since they won the contest with their song Zitti e Buoni. The Italian group, which consists of singer Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi and drummer Ethan Torchio, stormed the competition in the Netherlands with an impressive 524 points.

Eurovision 2021 winners Måneskin made a rather candid reference to the drug controversy they were embroiled in last year and told finalists not to get "too close to the table".Last year, lead vocalist Damiano David was accused of snorting cocaine during the live finals.After a thorough investigation and almost being stripped of their winning title, Damiano was proven innocent - however, he was clearly scarred from the ordeal.During the 2022 finals however, when asked what advice he would give finalists, Damiano: "Two [bits of] advice, have fun and don't get close to the table guys."Sharing their frank honesty, fans in the audience roared with laughter.Sharing their thoughts on social media, fans took to Twitter to comment on the joke. One person penned: "When Damiano said have fun and stay away from the table, poor guy had to make songs about not taking drugs." Another shared: "I just knew damiano was gonna say something about the drug allegations I love him."While a third added: "Damiano, my love, joking about how everyone accused him of consuming and drugs bc he got 'too close to the table' in Eurovision 2021 and now he came back with that advice lol slay king."This is a live TV story and is being constantly updated.

Eurovision 2021, everybody was getting hot under the collar thanks to their edgy pop-punk vocals and sultry image. With Eurovision catapulting back onto our screens, TikTok sensation Sam Ryder is representing the United Kingdom – but his vocals and image are a far cry from that of Måneskin's.Sam will take to the stage for the 66th Eurovision Song Contest, which is set to be held in Turin, Italy in just a few weeks.Speaking of Italy, Måneskin, the winners of last year's contest, are an Italian rock band who were formed in Rome back in 2016.

Eurovision is back this weekend (Saturday May 14), with Italy playing host.Once dubbed by its much-missed late presenter Terry Wogan as an excuse to, "Have a good sneer at Johnny Foreigner and chuck things at the telly," there's no denying that the annual continental kitsch fest has, during the course of its 66-year history, excelled in dividing its audience.But, whether its return in 2022 presents an excuse to throw a lederhosen and Liebfraumilch party or is simply the ideal time to colour compartmentalise your sock drawer, you cant deny it's had some must-see moments over the years.From bearded ladies and gobbling glove puppets to toppling despots and drug-fuelled scandals, here are some of the craziest which have hit our screens.Eurovision entries have sparked a lot of things over the years, not least the overwhelming urge to grab your coat and head for the pub.But few will beat Portugal’s entry at the 1974 contest which actually signalled a political uprising when it was broadcast on the radio.The ballad E Depois do Adeus by singer Paulo de Carvalho acted as a prompt for the country's rebel generals to rally their troops against the authoritarian regime of the time.The coup became known as the Carnation Revolution, so called because protestors took to the streets to place flowers into the muzzles of soldiers' rifles.The lead singer of this Italian rock band, which won the contest in 2021, was suspected by some viewers of snorting cocaine during the grand finals.Damiano David appeared to have been caught on camera at one point hunched over a table and making a low sweeping motion with his head.

Eurovision winner Damiano David, 23, took to social media today to express how “proud” he was of his girlfriend Giorgia Soleri, 26, after the model shared exciting news following her difficult battle with endometriosis.The Italian beauty, who has since gone under surgery for the condition, recently revealed she was coming out with a collection of poetry. Damiano shared a sweet post about his girlfriend’s new venture to Instagram today in view of his five million followers. He showed the shop front of an Italian bookstore that displayed Giorgia’s new collection front and centre. Tagging his beau, he simply captioned the picture: “Proud”.The poetry book is titled La Signorina Nessuno (‘Ms. Nobody’) and arrived in bookstores earlier this month. READ MORE: Resharing Damiano’s post on her own Instagram story in view of her 606,000 followers, Giorgia wrote a sweet message back. “Ed io di te,” she replied, which roughly translates to: “And I about you.” When her book was released on May 5, the model also sent out a heartfelt thank you post to her fans. “I can’t believe it! Thank you endlessly, I am speechless, how wonderful,” she wrote (translated).  Three weeks ago, Giorgia gave her followers a sneak peak at the cover of her book beside a long post admitting she was “scared” to see it reach the hands of the public. “I’ve been thinking about this moment for years,” she penned. “For years I imagined the cover in detail, the sound of the pages when they’re browsed, the smell they emit.“For years I keep telling myself what to say, how to say it, what words to use, how to express my infinite happiness.”“For years I’ve been thinking about how to present Ms.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIt’s safe to say that although Italian rock quartet Maneskin were pretty huge in their home country and parts of Europe when they took the Eurovision stage last year, their name recognition and popularity exploded when they won the coveted prize with their song “Zitti E Buoni.” Over the past year, the group has seen their streams, sales and tour itineraries soar, appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and at the Coachella festival — and perhaps most impressive of all, began working with Max Martin, the most successful songwriter-producer of the past 25 years (from Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys to Katy Perry to the Weeknd and Taylor Swift), on their next album.Although the group premiere a new, anti-Putin song called “Gasoline” at Coachella last month, the first fruit of the new partnership arrives tonight: the single “Supermodel,” which drops tonight. While Martin started off as a singer in a hard rock band, this is the first time in many years he’s worked with one — and it’s hard not to notice that the song’s riff owes more than a little to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” “Yeeepppp,” bassist Victoria De Angelis acknowledges coyly.

Måneskin disqualified from the Eurovision Song Contest, it has been reported.The glam-rock group – fronted by Damiano David – won the annual music competition for Italy last year after scoring 524 points with their hit track ‘Zitti E Buoni’.However, their victory was soon overshadowed by accusations that David had been caught on camera snorting cocaine off a table in the green room. The singer denied the claims and subsequently passed a voluntary drug test.Måneskin have since enjoyed huge success.

With the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 final in Turin fast approaching, last year's winners Måneskin are set to return to the stage with their new single Supermodel.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticThe Italian band Måneskin made its name in the U.S. with a crafty cover, of the Four Seasons’ “Beggin,'” and there were more where that came from during the band’s set Sunday night at Coachella: The group went to both ends of the pop/punk scale and memorably covered Britney Spears’ “Womanizer,” followed by Iggy Pop and the Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog.”Although it may not exactly count as a cover, singer Damiano David also offered a partial recitation of one of the greatest movie speeches of all time — the climactic monologue from Charlie Chaplin’s classic anti-fascist film “The Great Dictator” — as the introduction to a new, original song that was dedicated to Ukraine.Probably not much of the young crowd immediately recognized the 1940 Chaplin speech, which was shortly followed by David yelling “Fuck Putin!” in the middle of the new song, “We’re Gonna Dance on Gasoline,” their last number of the night on the Mojave stage.

James Arthur has dropped a punchy new single titled ‘Lose My Mind’, for which he’s teamed up with You Me At Six frontman Josh Franceschi.In a Tweet announcing the guitar-driven pop tune – the first shared from a deluxe edition of his recent fourth album, ‘It’ll All Make Sense In The End’ – Arthur said he was “so excited” to release it as he’s been a longtime fan of rock acts like You Me At Six.“As I grew up listening to rock bands, this song means a lot to me,” he wrote.Have a listen to ‘Lose My Mind’ below:‘It’ll All Make Sense In The End’ was released last November via Columbia.

Jessica Shalvoy It may seem like the not atypical modern-day music success story: band goes viral; band gets signed; band finds mainstream success.
