Caparezza alarms fans as tour wraps up: "I don't know what will become of me, let me go"

Enigmatic words from Caparezza at the close of his tour, which wrapped up at the Reggia di Caserta. Michele Salvemini bid farewell to the audience with a speech that immediately raised questions about his future and a possible departure from music. “I don't know what will become of me, I'm telling you very honestly,” confessed the singer-songwriter from Puglia from the stage. He immediately followed the statement with a clarification: “Of course, at the end of every show I say it's the last one, and then I'm always proven wrong.” This time, however, Caparezza was referring to a particular personal situation, without going into detail: “I'm in a particular condition, so don't be afraid — whatever I do, I'll be fine, so let me go.” Before leaving the stage, he thanked the band that had accompanied him and the audience gathered at the Reggia di Caserta.
His words inevitably stirred concern among fans, also linked to the tinnitus Caparezza has long suffered from, although the Puglia-born artist did not explicitly announce either a retirement from the scene or a break from music.

Born in Molfetta in 1973, Salvemini began his career under the pseudonym Mikimix, adopting the name Caparezza in the late Nineties. Major success arrived in the early 2000s, largely thanks to tracks like “Fuori dal tunnel” and “Vengo dalla Luna”, followed over the years by songs that became among the most popular in his catalogue, including “La mia parte intollerante” and “Vieni a ballare in Puglia”. Over the course of his career, Caparezza has also earned significant critical recognition, including the Targa Tenco in 2014 for “Museica” and another in 2026 for “Orbit Orbit“.
