Russell Watson Set To Return Home
Share

Opera star Russell Watson is set to be discharged from hospital this afternoon after undergoing surgery for a brain tumour last week.

The singer unexpectedly took ill last week and was taken to hospital where they found a brain tumour – his second one in as many years.

After successful surgery at the Alexandra Hospital in Cheshire, the 40-year-old has since made good progress and is now speaking normally. 

A statement released from his management company last night reads: "He is now being scheduled for discharge around lunchtime tomorrow, but he will need to continue to rest for the foreseeable future so as to fully recover from his surgery.

"We would like to pass on Russell's heartfelt thanks for the overwhelming amount of messages and gifts from his fans.

"The tremendous support he is receiving really makes a difference and as soon as he is able he will send a personal message to you all."

  • When I heard you perform in Sydney I was so affected by your persona it brought tears to my eyes. I have never enjoyed a performance so much as yours. Best wishes for a speedy recovery - you are a very special person.
