A TOP-SELLING classical artist will be performing in Winchester Cathedral alongside a special local guest.

The cathedral will play host to an evening with the multi-award-winning tenor Russell Watson on Friday, March 31 as part of the former I’m A Celebrity contestant’s “magnificent buildings concert series”.

The celebrity opera, pop and classical star will be accompanied by a choir, pianist Mike Morgan and a special local guest, yet to be announced.

The show will feature a variety of new and classic songs, together with a selection of hits from Russell’s career.

The singer has sold more than seven million albums and performed for Queen Elizabeth II, the Pope and two US presidents.
