There’s been no shortage of big moments during pop singer Josh Groban’s career
the past few years. He’s sung at the Olympics, the Super Bowl and the Vatican.
But asked if one moment stands out above the others, he considers the question a
moment and says, “I brought my dad to Red Rocks (the spectacular Denver
amphitheater) on his birthday. That was fun. I had the audience sing ‘Happy
Birthday’ to him.”
Yes, Josh Groban loves his family. He considers doing charity work an honor. He
treasures meeting Nelson Mandela. He admits to stage fright.
Talking about his latest album, last year’s “Awake,” the 26-year-old is
most excited not that it hit No. 2 on Billboard’s album chart (following 2004’s
“Closer,” which reached No. 1), but because he got to work with the likes of
Herbie Hancock and Ladysmith Black Mambazo during recording.
“When you have a little bit of success, you can use it for good things, or you
can use it for bad things,” he says. “I try to use it to expand my musical
horizons.”
It’s too bad phone booths have become so rare. You want to stick
Josh Groban in one and see if Superman
pops out
