Cesare Cremonini sold out the show in London, where he performed the whole tracklist from his new album, "Amateur", live for the first time. On stage at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, a historic theater in the British capital, the Bolognese singer-songwriter performed for a London audience that included a big community of Italians and Italian-descendants. Cremonini, 46 years old and 27 years after his debut with Lunapop, describes this rock-tinged record as a personal challenge and a "new debut". Cremonini performed all eleven songs from "Amateur" with an Italian and British band that included saxophonist Donny McCaslin, who had previously played with David Bowie on the album "Blackstar". Three guests appeared on stage: Salmo on the title track, Fabri Fibra on the single "Paparazzi", and Malika Ayane on "Cose molto piccole". Ayane returned for the encore, joining Cremonini for a version of Lou Reed’s "Walk on the Wild Side". The concert ended with another cover, "Stand by Me", dedicated to John Lennon, during which the singer-songwriter abandoned his piano and guitar to play saxophone alongside McCaslin. Sig, a mysterious multi-instrumentalist whose face was obscured by the new album's iconic golden skull, was one of the show's stars. Friends and celebrity guests were also seen at the stalls and galleries. Among them were Elisa, who was recognized for her contribution to the writing of "Cavalli da Corsa", one of the album's tunes, and Valentino Rossi, who joined the audience in the chorus of "Stand by Me". Other sports celebrities, such as Formula 1 driver Stefano Domenicali and Paolo Di Canio, were also in attendance. This London stop introduced Cremonini's new musical chapter to the UK, which included unreleased tracks, collaborations, and tributes to music legends.
