Modena, Italy - (Litigious Mess): Opera star Luciano Pavarotti died broke after signing away his fortune to a 'young male stripper friend' called Brazilian Bruno, a sensational new will revealed today.
The new testamentary document were found inside the tenor's sock drawer and was released by lawyer Silvio Vezzi.
The attorney confirmed that Pavarotti's bank accounts were paying out $500,000 per month to the Latin American strip-tease artiste for the last ten years.
That left precious little by way of assets for his next of kin after five heavily mortgaged properties were taken into consideration.
Meanwhile in Sao Paulo attorneys representing one Signor Bruno Brunelleschi denied their client was slowly starving Pavarotti's widow and children out of their family home.
"The latest will "represented Luciano Pavarotti's true desires," a legal source claimed.
"And we'd be very happy to reveal to the Italian tax authorities details of the specific Swiss numbered bank accounts which may have escaped their attention.
"All are in the name of Mrs Luciano Pavarotti."
