Singing sensation Russell Watson is heading into the I'm A Celebrity... Castle, ahead of performing a spectacular concert of career highlights at Symphony Hall next year.
Described by the New York Times as a performer “who sings like Pavarotti and entertains the audience like Sinatra”, Russell Watson has released ten studio albums, each one receiving more critical acclaim than the last. His debut album ‘The Voice’ shot up the UK charts where he held the number one spot for a world record 52 weeks. At the same time, Russell held the number one spot in the USA, making him the first British male to hold the accolade of a simultaneous transatlantic number one. His second studio album ‘Encore’ soon followed, it became an even greater success selling almost two million copies worldwide. During this period Russell was rewarded with various awards including four Classical Brits.
When he steps on stage in November 2021, Russell will be joined by a harmonious choir and orchestra to celebrate 20 years since his debut album THE VOICE was released. It’s an evening not to be missed!
