Russell Watson To Star In Coronation Street's 'Street Of Dreams'

Salford born singing sensation Russell Watson has been unveiled as the star guest performer for the World Première of Coronation Street’s live musical event, 'Street of Dreams' exclusively at the Manchester Arena on 9th and 10th May 2012.

Renowned worldwide as the “people’s tenor”, Russell is the UK’s best selling classical artist ever and is the first artist to hold the number one slot simultaneously in the UK and USA in his respected genre. His debut album, ‘The Voice’ held the top spot for a record 52-weeks before being ousted by his own follow up album ‘Encore’ which consequently spent a further 26 weeks at number one.

Following the mass of international success, Russell is set to jet back from the US where he’ll be performing at the White House Memorial Concert, to his home turf of Manchester for two nights only to headline the stunning finale song ‘Ghosts - Take My Hand’, written by Street of Dreams composer Trisha Ward – a number which celebrates the iconic characters of Corrie’s past and brings the all-star show to the ultimate climax.

Russell Watson said: “It’s an incredible privilege to be asked to be a part of something so amazing and unique. Coronation Street was a prominent fixture in the Watson household whilst I was growing up so any opportunity to combine such an iconic brand with exquisite music is one I’d never hesitate in taking on. I’m so looking forward to coming home and joining old friends on stage - I doubt there’ll be a dry eye in the house!”
