Opera singer Russell Watson has announced that he will embark on a UK tour to celebrate his recovery from a second brain tumour.
The 41-year-old singer, who was recently forced to undergo a life-saving operation and radiotherapy, will perform 13 dates across the UK, including a homecoming gig in Manchester.
Watson is also currently writing a book, which he says he will use "to set the record straight and say my piece on a couple of things".
The singer recently posted a blog on his website which hinted that he would also be releasing a new album soon: "There are all kinds of other plans afoot that I don't think I can reveal yet. Album (cough)."
