Croatia’s world-famous cello duo 2CELLOS are back together ago working on something new last month.
Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser, who reunited briefly after a two-year-break to celebrate their 10th anniversary as a group with a cover of the Bon Jovi classic “Livin’ on a Prayer”, were in Tuscany on Monday where they were joined by famous Italian opera tenor Andrea Bocelli.
Šulić and Hauser struck up a friendship with Bocelli after performing together a number of times over the last 7 years.
“Wonderful day today with Andrea Bocelli in beautiful Tuscany! Thank you and your family for hospitality,” Šulić said on Instagram after posting a photo of the trio together.
The duo reached video viral fame on YouTube from their 2011 rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” and went on to amass 1.3 billion YouTube views, 5.5 million YouTube subscribers, 1 billion streams, and sold nearly 1 million tickets.
The Croatians have sold out shows across the globe at historic venues including New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, London’s Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House.
The duo has performed alongside musical greats Steven Tyler, Red Hot
Chili Peppers, Queens of the Stone Age and George Michael, to name a
few, and was hand-picked by Sir Elton John to perform both as an opener
as well as part of the iconic singer’s live band. 2CELLOS
