Russell Watson never imagined he would someday be hailed as one of the world’s greatest classical singers. Since being described by the New York Times as a performer “who sings like Pavarotti and entertains the audience like Sinatra” he subsequently released ten studio albums, each one receiving more critical acclaim than the last. But tragedy struck in 2006 and 2007 and Russell Watson endured the most harrowing time of his life, as he battled two brain tumours back-to-back. He talks to Selina about his career and his battle to come back from the illness that nearly killed him. #TrueStories #Opera
