When Russell begins his tour it will be nearly 7 months on from an operation to remove a brain tumor, but already Russell is well on the road to recovery and is looking forward to getting back to doing what he loves most – singing for his fans.
Russell will be performing a mixture of his well-loved songs and new material from his latest album 'Outside in', a release which sees him tackling iconic repertoire with a newly invigorated love of life and a maturing singing voice. Recovering from his illness, Russell is living every day to the fullest. With a voice which is now better and more powerful than ever, Russell continues to prove that he can imbue popular songs as well as classical arias with his own unique style and grace.
Russell Watson is the biggest selling UK artist of the 21st Century and winner of four classical Brit awards. Each of his records have achieved multi platinum sales in the UK and he holds the world record for having an album at No 1 for 52 consecutive weeks. Russell has sung for The Pope, US Presidents, Prime Ministers, Japanese Emperors, the Beckham's and for Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall but after his recent ordeal he cannot wait to perform for his most important audience, his fans.
The Salford born singer, renowned for his stunning live performances, has seen his albums take opera and classical music to a new audience. See him live….
