Pavarotti 'mimed last performance'

Late opera legend Luciano Pavarotti mimed during his last ever live performance, according to a new book written by his longtime conductor.

Leone Magiera - who performed alongside Pavarotti at more than 1,000 concerts - claims the tenor pre-recorded a rendition of Nessun Dorma, which was then played at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, while the orchestra, singer and conductor mimed.
