Damiano David, lead singer of Italian rock band and Eurovision winner Maneskin, released his first solo track Friday, sparking fears among fans that the group might be about to split.

David collaborated on the song, "Silverlines", with American artists Sarah Hudson and Ferras and the British rapper and producer Labrinth.

The Italian singer, whose live performances and party nights with bassist Victoria De Angelis fuelled Maneskin's sultry reputation, seems to suggest with the melancholy track that he has entered a more mellow period of his life.

"I don't feel sad anymore, the calm after the storm, peace belongs to me," he sings.

"This song is very special to me", he told Italy's La Stampa daily in an interview published Friday.

"I naturally chose it as the start of this new chapter in my artistic life, and I sincerely hope that people are ready to take this journey with me."

David said at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York this month that his solo project did not mean the end of Maneskin.

"One thing is certain, the band will continue to make records together. We get on very well, and my solo record will not put an end to our activity as a band," he said.

Maneskin won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021 and David is its best-known member, with over five million followers on Instagram.

The other three members are also involved in solo projects.

De Angelis has played in a Duran Duran song, guitarist Thomas Raggi has taken part in concerts with other artists, and drummer Ethan Torchio has composed music for a documentary, according to La Stampa.

Maneskin's Damiano David releases first solo song

Rock band Maneskin, who won the 65th Eurovision Song Contest 2021, took over MTV VMAs' stage on Sunday and performed their popular track 'Supermodel'. Donning risque outfits, the four band members arrived at the award ceremony and grabbed eyeballs from all four corners. When they started performing, a few&nbsp;fans, who were watching the show live, noted that the performance was being censored and&nbsp;the cameras were constantly panning away from the stage for extended periods of time. Wondering why? Well, there were more reasons than one for the censorship.

At first, fans felt that Damiano David's bare butt was the reason behind the censorship. However, later, it was discovered that&nbsp;Victoria De Angelis had a major wardrobe malfunction on stage. During the gig, the&nbsp;bassist had&nbsp;a nip slip when her off-shoulder outfit apparently fell off her shoulder.

Netizens didn't seem pleased with the censorship and many took to social media to slam the broadcaster for not streaming the entire performance. One user wrote, "Damiano is dang sexy. So sexy, he had to be censored. #VMAs #maneskin #eurovision #esc2022. (sic)"

Another wrote, "@mtv censoring bad bunny kissing that dancer and maneskin’s performance but pretending to be an ally every june. (sic)" And, one user said, "I waited all night to watch Maneskin on #VMAs to have @MTV show two seconds of the actual performance. Why was it censored?"&nbsp;
