Russell Watson View Sheet Music for this Artist
Russell Watson (born 24 November 1966) is an English tenor who has released singles and albums of both operatic-style and pop songs. The self-styled "People's Tenor" had been singing since he was a child, and became known after performing at a working men's club. Russell had several years of formal training with a local vocal tutor, David Dubery.[citation needed] He came to attention in 1999 when he sang the UK's national anthem at the rugby Cup final at Wembley Stadium, "Barcelona" at the last match of the Premiership season between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, and a full set of songs at the final of the UEFA Champions League in Barcelona between Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
Watson's debut album entitled The Voice was released in May 2001; four others followed. However, an album planned for November 2006 was delayed due to the removal of a benign brain tumour. This album, entitled That's Life, was eventually released on 5 March 2007.
On 24 October 2007, it was discovered that there had been a regrowth of his brain tumour and bleeding into his brain. He underwent emergency surgery and was discharged from hospital on 31 October. He is due to undergo an extensive rehabilitation programme, including radiotherapy.
