Andrea Bocelli's spine-tingling performance reduces Twitter to tears
There wasn't a dry eye in Leicester, England on Saturday.
Ahead of Leicester City's Premier League fixture versus Everton, supporters were treated to a tear-jerking performance from Andrea Bocelli, as the Italian tenor fulfilled a promise to Claudio Ranieri by singing "Nessun Dorma" and "Time To Say Goodbye" alongside his compatriot and in front of a sold-out King Power Stadium.

Away from King Power Stadium, however, tears of the digital variety were shed on Twitter.
This is beautiful. Can't stop the tears.

Bummer not to be seeing Andrea Bocelli's entire pregame performance at Leicester on TV in the US.

Not your average title celebration - and just spine-tingling from Andrea Bocelli with a very emotional Claudio Ranieri at his side.

Andrea Bocelli (in a jeans-hoody combo) is belting out Nessum Dorma.
What a time to be a #LCFC fan.
Andrea Bocelli brings the house down by taking jacket off - to reveal an #lcfc shirt.
