Last night, Italian singer-songwriter Nek, a chart-topper in the Italian music scene hailing from Sassuolo (Modena), played a greatest hits show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

The rocker, who enjoyed success also in Spain and Latin America with hits such as Laura non c’è (Laura no está) and Sei grande (Tu nombre), played a 28-song, career-spanning set to an Italian audience.

Highlights included Se io non avessi te, Nella stanza 26, Se una regola c’è and Almeno stavolta.

The European leg of the tour ends today in Madrid.
