Excerpt:

LONDON (Reuters) - An opera-loving dentist is to swap his drill for a microphone after winning a four-album recording contract worth one million pounds.

Andrew Bain, 35, who has worked as a dentist in London for more than 10 years, was finally signed by record company SonyBMG after chasing a deal for years.

His debut album, to be released in September, will feature operatic versions of pop hits such as The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?", Abba's "The Winner Takes It All" and Prince's "Purple Rain".
