TRIBUTE BANDS

We know about the existence of many Laura Pausini Tribute Bands.  First and foremost Laura and all of us with her are very happy that these bands are taking around the name Laura Pausini besides their own professionalism. The only comment we would like to point out is the question of the formalization. We know that some of the bands are using terms as ‘OFFICIAL’ or ‘UFFICIALE’ to define themselves as a band that we recognized.

We kindly request to the members subscribed to the Fan Club of the Tribute Bands dedicated to Laura to NOT to use terms as ‘OFFICIAL’ and ‘UFFICIALE’ associated with the name Laura Pausini on posters, invitations and on their websites or promotion material.

We confirm on behalf of Laura and the Fan Club all of our esteem and our support for your nowadays and future initiatives.
