Andrea Bocelli, the Italian tenor whose repertoire includes four complete operas, has indeed been blind since his youth.

According to the All Media Guide:

The young Bocelli also suffered from poor eyesight, having been born with congenital glaucoma, and a soccer accident rendered him completely blind at the age of 12.

Well he was ten years old he wanted to play soccer. So his parents enrolled him in this soccer league, and one day when he was playing, he fell and hit his head. Whatever way he hit himself, he damaged his optic nerve, and he went blind.
