A singer had his phone snatched from his hand as he livestreamed to hundreds of people.
Fabio Rovazzi – also a YouTuber – was answering his followers’ questions as he sat at a table outside an eatery.
Nearly four hundred viewers were watching the live broadcast yesterday (12 May) morning.

The footage opens with Rovazzi, 30, looking directly into the camera as he addresses his fans.
A man wearing a cap and tracksuit walks into view above his shoulder and briefly loiters behind him on the street.
As Rovazzi talks, the man passes behind him and briefly appears above his other shoulder before moving out of view.
Suddenly, the phone is prised from the singer’s grip.
The viewers then see several shopfronts, one after the other in quick succession, as the thief legs it down the street in Milan, Italy.

The livestream ended after the mugger put the phone in his pocket, as reported on What’s The Jam.
Rovazzi has not posted any update for his 1.3m Instagram followers, presumably because he has no phone.
His concerned followers have been flooding him with questions about the missing device and if he managed to get it back.

Rovazzi released his debut single ‘Andiamo a comandare’ (Let’s Take Charge) in 2016.
It became the first gold record in Italy achieved exclusively through streaming and was later certified platinum.
He has also appeared as an actor in film and TV.
