Originally from Corsica, France, Padovani formed ‘The Police’ in 1976 with Sting and Stewart Copel as the original guitarist, before going on to perform with several other top artists.

In 1980, Padovani formed his own group, The Flying Padovanis, while at the same time managing Europe’s biggest solo act, Zucchero, who went on to sell more than 15 million albums worldwide.

In 2011, the musician became a judge on the French version of the popular TV show, The X Factor.
