Gianni Morandi and the mysterious announcement: "I'm taking a break from social media."

Bologna, August 26, 2025 - Gianni Morandi announces a break from social media ( video ) in a video posted on both Instagram and Facebook. He doesn't explain the reason to his followers: the artist's decision is immediately a mystery. "Gianni, the important thing is that you're well," is a recurring phrase among fans' messages. "Hi everyone," Morandi says in the video, "I wanted to tell you that I want to take a break from social media, from Instagram, from Facebook... So I'll see you in a little while . Bye."

Gianni Morandi announced to his fans that he's taking a break from social media: "See you in a little while. Bye."

Then in the post he writes ironically: "Guys... I'm taking a break from social media... my phone can't keep up with me anymore. See you soon!!!" The eternal boy's announcement received thousands of messages, likes, and numerous shares in just a few minutes on Facebook , where the singer is followed by 3.2 million people . On Instagram , where the page has 2 million followers , the post received 10,000 likes in less than an hour (including one from his friend Jovanotti ) and over 600 comments. Some are a little worried about Morandi's decision, while others agree with it or at least understand it.

"I admire your very smart choice in taking this break," writes one fan; " We'll miss you, come back soon," another; and again: "Gianni, I don't know how we'll manage without your greeting every day... However, it's right that you also take your time and then come back to us better than before ... Hugs"; "Sometimes it's good to take a break from all social media , we'll look forward to seeing you soon. A huge hug to you and Anna"; "Whatever you decide for us is fine, we'll talk and see each other at your convenience, but don't worry, you're not far from our hearts "; "Have a good rest, Gianni, every now and then we need it. You're a great man, generous, altruistic, joyful, as well as a great artist"; " No, Gianni, don't leave us "; "I hope you're preparing something... and that the sooner the sooner! "; "I'm so sorry, your presence was a nice habit , even if it was demanding."

Messages are pouring in on the artist's social media profiles, which will remain silent for a while. While followers were accustomed to interacting frequently, Morandi shared every post: from vacation photos to matches of his favorite team ( Bologna ), including away games; from daily life at home with his family to evenings with friends and colleagues on stage. And a few days ago, the singer even shared photos of his workouts at the gym with his personal trainer. Just yesterday, he posted a photo with Arrigo Sacchi in Milano Marittima ("A great footballer, a stellar AC Milan coach," he wrote in the post); and even before that, a long post saying goodbye to Pippo Baudo: "I'm very saddened... I will always love you." Videos and photos recounted the artist's life post after post. And fans are already counting down the days to the end of this mysterious hiatus.
