Encore: My journey back to centre stage

Russell Watson is one of the world's greatest classical singers. The New York Times described him as a performer 'who sings like Pavarotti and entertains the audience like Sinatra'. He has released ten studio albums to critical acclaim, performed in front of popes and presidents and collaborated with a range of performers from Meat Loaf to Paul McCartney. He is the patron of many charities and lives in Cheshire with his wife Louise and coterie of animals.
