Queen of the West End Kerry Ellis back on hunt for rising stars

West End star Kerry Ellis is once again offering the next generation of talent the opportunity to join her on stage this autumn.

Kerry is inviting rising stars the chance to perform a song with her at each of her forthcoming Rock Anthems tour dates.

The tour kicks off in Weston-super-Mare in September and will see Kerry perform the rock songs which have inspired her, from Queen to Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler to Aerosmith.

For the second time, she has teamed up with Perform Now giving budding talent the chance to share her spotlight and sing in front of a live audience.
Confident soloists must be aged between 11 and 19, live within 45 minutes of the venue, and be able to commit to the date.
Kerry remains a strong supporter of young talent and regular host of online coaching, she’s delighted to offer this opportunity again, after doing so on her Queen of the West End tour.
She said: “I loved sharing the stage with rising stars on my Queen of the West End tour – there were some very special moments, and the standard of talent was super high. When I was asked if I would do it again on my Rock Anthems tour, it was an easy ‘yes’.”

Perform Now is a company providing performance opportunities and training to young talent. Its theatre school develops young people’s performance skills, and helps boost their confidence with access to industry professionals such as Kerry.
Rachel Crouch and Kyle Tovey, directors of Perform Now, added: “Young talent can apply for the opportunity at https://performnow.co.uk/search-for-a-star. We have seen such success and growth from those who were successful in previous years that we can’t wait to see this year’s applicants.”

World-renowned tenor Russell Watson – who has recovered from two brain tumours – has revealed miraculous news about his health.

Russell made the announcement exclusively on Monday night’s The One Show on BBC One.

He revealed his pituitary gland which was thought to have been irreparably damaged by the cancers has made an almost complete recovery.

He told hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp: “Basically, I have to take steroids to stay alive, so I did a bit of research, rang my endocrinologist, and told them I was really struggling with keeping weight off, and is there a test I can do to find out whether I am taking too much of the steroids.

“In a nutshell, she rang me up and said that this is like a one-in-a-million chance, but you have started to produce your own cortisol, which is the body’s stress hormones… So I’ve cut my steroids in half, I went back for another test this week, and I have been told I can cut those in half… it may end up, at the end of it, that I might not need to take the steroids anymore.”

He added: “I am really pleased. Some good health news; it’s about time!”
The 59-year-old was also on The One Show to launch his new book - his most personal work yet.

The Voice is an unfiltered memoir charting his extraordinary journey from working men's clubs in Salford, Manchester, to the world's most celebrated stages.
On The One Show, he mentioned some of the stories in the book, including working with ABBA, and getting to meet Hollywood royalty Meryl Streep.
It compliments Russell’s new intimate tour which kicks off in September, and takes in theatres across the country.

The book pulls back the curtain on the man behind one of the most recognisable voices in modern classical crossover music. With trademark warmth, humour, and honesty, Russell recounts a career built on grit and relentless belief — from singing for custard creams and battling debt in the unforgiving northern club circuit, to stunning audiences worldwide with an operatic power few saw coming.
The Voice doesn't shy away from the darker chapters either. Russell opens up about crushing setbacks, brushes with failure, and a life-threatening illness that nearly silenced him for good — while never losing the grounded, down-to-earth spirit that has endeared him to fans for over two decades. It features a bookplate personally signed by Russell, and exclusive four-track CD, unavailable elsewhere.
