Russell Watson
The tenor who practically invented the classical crossover genre stunned the world again with album ‘La Voce’ after overcoming two life-threatening brain tumours. Recorded in June 2010 with the Roma Sinfonietta – Ennio Morricone’s orchestra of choice – and produced by Mike Hedges, Russell Watson’s voice has never sounded better.
In 2008, when the Salford born tenor finished radiotherapy for the pituitary tumor that saw him undergoing emergency surgery, he decided to embark on a return to music. He soon found that his treatment had given him not just a fresh outlook on the world, but a whole new, deeper, richer voice. “The tumour could have been growing for 10-15 years in my nasal cavity, so when I had it cut out I went from a V8 to a V12!”
