LONDON - Italian opera star Luciano Pavarotti has returned to the British singles charts for the first time in almost 15 years as fans bought his "Nessun Dorma" following his death.
Pavarotti's recording of the aria from Puccini's "Turandot" jumped to number 24 from 160, according to the Official UK Charts Company.
The song, played over loudspeakers at his funeral service in Modena on Saturday, reached number two in June 1990.
It has been an anthem for soccer fans ever since Pavarotti performed it at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
