Kerrang Awards 2012: Balotelli eroe dell’anno per la musica rock e metal

Cosa c’entra Mario Balottelli con la musica rock e metal? Poco o nulla. Il noto giornale alternativo inglese Kerrang, ha annunciato le nomination per i migliori personaggi, band e canzoni dell’anno. Tra i candidati a “eroe dell’anno” c’è anche un outsider ovvero il giocatore italiano del Manchester City.

Balotelli dovrà “giocarsela” con due cantanti amatissimi come Jared Leto (30 Seconds To Mars) e M Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold) e con altri due musicisti come Ronnie Radke (Falling In Reverse) e Rou Reynolds (Enter Shikari).

Nell’attesa di sapere chi la spunterà ecco tutte le nomination:
