Russell Watson, born in Salford, Greater Manchester, England, on 24 November 1966, is an English tenor who has released singles and albums of both operatic-style and pop songs. An album planned for November 2006 was delayed due to the removal of a benign brain tumour. This latest album, entitled That's Life, was eventually released on 5 March 2007.

Then married with a baby, to help support his young family he began to earn extra cash singing Elvis Presley and Neil Diamond covers in north-west clubs.
