10:00am Sunday 11 December on BBC ONE
Russell Watson started singing in working men’s clubs in the North of England and rose to international stardom, performing for presidents and royalty. However, he counts his blessings every day – because he’s recovered from one illness that threatened his career and two brain tumours that threatened his life. Fern Britton talks to the singer known simply as “The Voice”.
Russell’s first big scare was when he had to have a polyp removed from his vocal chords in 2003. Three years later, after suffering severe headaches, a brain tumour was discovered. That too was removed, only for it to come back in 2007. He fought back again to re-launch his career and has now sold more than seven million records. Russell Watson’s brush with death has changed his attitude to life. He feels he has been given a second chance.
