Many People Think Italy Is Resident Evil, This Is Vocalist Lacuna Coil's Comment

JAKARTA - Cristina Scabbia told her fans that she and her colleagues in the Lacuna Coil band are in good condition even though Italy is closed due to the corona virus or COVID-19 outbreak. This was conveyed by the frontwoman when they launched the music video for the song Save Me.

Lacuna Coil canceled a number of their concerts including in Indonesia at the Hammersonic festival at the end of March. The spread of the corona virus in their home region in Lombardy, northern Italy, led the country to issue regulations that do not allow them to travel abroad.

Since then, the Italian government has imposed a nationwide lockdown to try to prevent the entry of the flu-like virus. But now Scabbia reveals that the situation in his country is not as bad as what is reported in the media.

“What I want to do is convince our fans that we are doing well. After the first news about the coronavirus, I got lots of messages from fans asking me frantically: 'Are you okay? Are you sick? Is the fever high? Can you stand up? Are you dying? ”Scabbia told NME, as quoted from Loudersound.com, Thursday, March 12.

"And I was like, 'What are you talking about? I'm fine. I'm at home, I'm watching TV, I'm relaxing after the South American tour.' But everyone thinks that Italy is a country of Resident Evil and everyone is almost dead.

"So what the Italian bands and I did is try to use our social media to convince everyone that the situation is not crazy as some media portray it."

When Lacuna Coil was isolated, they actually took the opportunity to release a live video for the song Save Me from the Black Anima album. Watch the video below:
