Father-of-two Russell, 56, has survived two brain tumours — one in 2006 and the second a year later.

He said he wanted, through the song, to give something back by raising money for Worldwide Cancer Research.

The Salford-born singer said: “A will, much like a piece of music, has the power to touch the lives of so many more.

“I want others to receive the kind of life-saving treatment I did.”

Helen Rippon, chief executive of the charity Worldwide Cancer Research, said: “Discussion around post-life planning can be uncomfortable, but with roughly half of Brits without a written will, it is important we spread the message about how important it is to plan for when that day comes.

“We understand that people want to put their family and friends first when thinking about writing a will, and our free service offers you support with making that decision.

“It can be a really daunting task, and we want to make it as simple as possible for our community of cure starters.

“You don’t have to include a gift to Worldwide Cancer Research in your will in return, but of course we’d be extremely grateful if you did.

“We’re hugely inspired by Russell’s story and are delighted to receive such an incredible gift from him to shine a light on our charity, and hopefully bring us closer to a day when no life is cut short by cancer.”

Worldwide Cancer Research funds discovery research with the mission to stop cancer.
