From the archive, first published Thursday 9th Mar 2006.
RUSSELL Watson -- known as The People's Tenor -- will soon be meeting fans in Horwich.
The champion of BBC1's Just the Two of Us, often referred to as The Voice, will be signing copies of his fifth album -- Russell Watson: The Ultimate Collection -- at Tesco Extra on Monday.
Watson's rise to fame began when he was working as a Salford factory worker and sang on the pub and club circuit in his spare time.
Since then he has sold millions of records, including performances for the Pope and the Duke and Duchess Of Cornwall.
On Sunday, the singer won Just the Two of Us with his actress partner Sian Reeves, of Cutting It, when they sang Great Balls of Fire.
The show was hosted by Bolton television and radio presenter Vernon Kay and his wife Tess Daly.
Fans who want to meet the singer in person will need to be in the supermarket between 10am and noon.
