On the 9th of February in Milan there will be the concert of a star is very special, Kiefer Sutherland . The cinquantatrenne actor, director, producer, star of tv and cinema, it became, in fact, for some years, a country singer. And is also good. He recorded albums, made a lot of concerts, built a repertoire of songs that bear her signature, has a beautiful voice and, of course, a great stage presence, and, above all, is not playing the role of the singer, it really is. Sure, there will always be those who, during his performances, he reminds that he is an actor…”Now we are used to it,” he says, laughing, “we did a lot of dates all over the world, and there is always someone who asks Jack Bauer or the President Kirkman to take my place in the scene. I always say that it’s like people who watch car racing waiting for you, that there is an accident. My job is to make a good run. I understand that we can’t trust an actor who reinvents himself a musician, but I also know that what I’m doing I do it for really, that is not a hobby or a pastime for a star bored. This is what I love to do now and that I will continue to love for the rest of my life”.
Want to quit to become an actor?
“No, I’m not saying that I will stop to be an actor, I’m saying that the music is an important thing, that I like to do well, which is giving me great satisfaction, and that I don’t take it as an entertainment but as a commitment. I don’t want to be or seem like an actor who sings, but a musician.”
The passion for music then was not born today.
“No, I’ve always loved music, I learned to play the guitar when I was a teenager, but I never thought to turn it into an art. I become a maniac of guitars, at a certain point I had in the house almost a hundred, now there are only about twenty”.
How ever you are reduced in number?
“Because if not, the sound you feel like a idiot to look at them and that’s it. Now, among those that I use in concert and the ones I use in the studio, the sound really is all”.
