Birth name: William Robert Young. Born: January 20, 1979 Reading/Wokingham, Berkshire, UK. August 28, 2008: "Singer Will Young Was "Set On Fire And Struck By Lightning" When He Did His Own Stunts In New Single" Will Young was "set on fire and struck by lightning" for his new video. The "Leave Right Now" singer was asked to perform his own daredevil stunts in the promo for "Changes" and loved the physical challenge. He said: "I wanted to do something physical so there was drowning, more drowning, being set on fire, struck by lightning and then drowning again. We certainly got physical - it was pretty full on." "I think you should do different things for videos. I feel I've got a good legacy for them." Will recently revealed he is planning to put his acting career on hold to concentrate on music. He said: "I love acting and would love to do more projects, but I think it confused people a bit. It's tougher for people to cross over here than it is in America." "I was really encouraged after doing the play as well because I got some good reviews from theater critics who are known for being quite harsh." Will releases "Changes" on September 14. *** William Robert Young BA (Exon) is a British singer and actor. He catapulted to fame in 2002 after winning the inaugural UK Pop Idol contest.
