 |
|
For many years now it has been suggested that a Russell Watson Autobiography would come out. Amazon have had Russell Watson Autiobiography on there for what seems like forever with the release date forever changing and never happening.
But NOW (with still no official release date) there is a book cover which makes it seem all the more likely that a book of Russell will be happening.
CLICK HERE
| Quote: | Synopsis
Russell Watson is an international superstar with a real story to tell. Known as 'The Voice' due to his incredible yet untrained singing talent, his is an inspirational working class rags to riches tale of how a young man from Salford went on to become one of the world's biggest selling popular classical singers. While most stars of today find success early, Russell was working in a Salford factory at the age of 30. He spent the evenings singing in workingmen's clubs for extra cash to keep the bailiffs from his family's door. The Chairman of Manchester United gave him is big break in May 1999, the opportunity to sing at Old Trafford. His extraordinary performance was quickly followed by a record deal and his phenomenally successful debut album. He has since sold over five million albums, won four Brit awards, embarked on numerous sell-out world tours and entertained the Pope, Blair, Bush and the Emperor of Japan.In 2002, he was invited to perform at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in front of a worldwide television audience of 1 billion people. But success has not come easy.
His rapidly escalating fame led to a bitter divorce from his childhood sweetheart and his private life being splashed across the tabloids. His career was threatened when a polyp was found on his throat and only last autumn, he was struck down by a life-threatening brain tumour and had to undergo extensive brain surgery. He plunged into a deep depression and it was only the thought of leaving his two daughters fatherless that kept him from committing suicide. Now, having totally recovered from his debilitating illness, Russell reveals for the first time the true story of how an ordinary man with an extraordinary voice became one of Britain's favourite recording artists. |
I personally can not wait to read this and learn more of Russell that I possibly don't already know.  |

| Well I have been very apprehensive in all the talk of the "possible" release of a book. But with an actual cover being shown now, that's what's got my hopes up. So lets all hope they wont be dashed again. |

Well we've had some official news on this straight from Russell's mouth (well typing fingers really ).
This was mentioned in his latest blog
| Quote: | | When I’m not having my brain zapped by lazers I’ve been working on my book. As many of you have pointed out on the autobiography thread, It’s called Finding My Voice. I don’t want to say too much, but I can reveal that it’s still in the process of being written in an attempt to make it as up-to-date as I can possibly manage – plus there are plenty of funny, scary and just downright strange stories in it. A bit of light (and sometimes not-so light) reading just in time for your summer holidays. |
So a book in the near future looks very promising. |

It's a great cover isn't it and the title is so fitting.
I'm hoping they'll be some photo's we haven't seen before to go with the stories we haven't yet heard before.
