I agree with you Bru...Russell Watson is rightly called "The Voice"!
For anyone who has not heard him sing, you should treat yourself and give him a listen...even if you don't like operatic stuff, you'll recognize his talent. (And, he does some "contemporary" music, too.)
The latest news on his recovery from this second brain surgery was recently posted on his website:

I truly hope that this is not his last album!
