Singing is what makes me feel alive, so thank you for letting me continue making a living from what I love. He has also participated in the zarzuelas of the Sabatini Gardens Madrid , a meeting point for music lovers in summer, and in the gardens of the Royal Palace of Madrid. Since , and in parallel to his career as a member of Il Divo, Carlos performs concerts and solo performances.

On September 19, , he performed at the final gala of the Miss Earth beauty pageant in Mexico. However, while studying to be a music teacher, Urs had a revelation, and since then he has not stopped listening to classical music.

The quality of the great composers, the arrangements and the wealth of their ideas seems incredibly fascinating. Everything is so beautiful, so well built, that it gets me very far inside. After his training, he began to earn a living as an independent singer between the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France, doing oratory and opera, as well as performances in the choir of the Amsterdam Opera. He had been living in the Netherlands for 8 years when he got the opportunity that would change his life, when he was recruited by Simon Cowell to sing in the well-known crossover group Il Divo.

During his adolescence, and in a completely self-taught way, he learned to play the guitar to impress the first girl he fell in love with. Thanks to the guitar, when he was only 17 years old, he started earning money playing on the Seine river boats for couples in love, and later playing piano in Parisian bars as well as singing in karaokes.

After recording several mockups with his own compositions, auditioning and visiting several record companies, he finally managed to sign with the record label EMI Music France. The most important thing in my life are my children, and there have been many times when life has not been very easy for them, and that has made me suffer a lot.

Il Divo and Katherine Jenkins The Il Divo boys announced they were touring with Katherine Jenkins for the first time in , where they're set to perform all their greatest hits. As the four singers fall about in laughter for what feels like the 37th time in a few short minutes, it becomes wonderfully apparent that their humour is the key to their longevity.

Fifteen years in one group is quite the achievement, especially considering the Frankenstein-esque manner the already established singers, now aged between 45 and 49, were put together, and that many acts struggle to go the distance. Miller is adamant that their "really good sense of humour" is what gets them by when the pressures of travelling the globe wear them down. We do what we can, we take it one day at a time, one moment at a time, one hurdle at a time and one performance at a time.

He jokes: "It kinda works It hasn't always been this easy for Il Divo, though, particularly in the early days. Marin reveals the biggest obstacle they had to overcome.

But through the barrier and the tough times they made it, unscathed, and it's obvious that even after years of world tours and Guinness World Record coups — in they were named the most successful classical crossover group in history — they are as tight as ever. There does not appear to be an end in sight for Il Divo, either, who insist they have at least another 15 years in them as a group — as long as their fans keep on listening.
