In a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, music icon Craig David reminisced about his 25-year career, offering an insight into his journey to stardom. The talk show host dug deep as he probed David about his debut single and the moment he realized his life would never be the same.
David revealed that his manager broke the news to him that his single had reached number one in the charts, surpassing the popular Destiny’s Child track “Say My Name,” which held the second spot. As a big fan of the iconic girl group, David couldn’t contain his excitement, realizing the magnitude of his achievement. He admitted to having Destiny’s Child posters plastered on his wall, making the news even more surreal.
The conversation took an interesting turn as Ross brought up the fact that many people choose David’s songs for their weddings. “Unbelievable” seemed to be the song couples played the most at their special events. David acknowledged this trend and shared some heartwarming stories of fans reaching out to him, sharing anecdotes of how his music played a significant role in their big day. He expressed his gratitude for being a part of such milestones in people’s lives.
Interestingly, David also revealed that he has been asked to perform at weddings on a few occasions. While he doesn’t take up many of these requests, he recalled one memorable time when a couple put in a tremendous effort to catch his attention. They undertook a series of adventurous activities like skydiving, all to ensure that David would agree to perform at their wedding. Touched by their dedication, he showed up at their house and delivered an unforgettable performance in their backyard. David marveled at the couple’s thoughtfulness, emphasizing that it was their day and he wanted to make it truly special.
The conversation then shifted to another guest on the show, Jill Scott, who revealed that she had proposed to her partner a while ago but had not yet tied the knot. Feeling a bit nervous about the whole proposal ordeal, Scott shared the comical mishap of how she thought David was leaving her when he had the engagement ring in his backpack. Five years later, Scott jokingly asked her partner when they would finally set a date. David seized the moment, offering to sing at their wedding if it would help move things along. Scott enthusiastically accepted the offer, recognizing it as the opportune opportunity to finally get the ball rolling.
Although Scott and her partner have yet to set a date, the prospect of having Craig David serenade their special day has opened up doors for flexible scheduling. Negotiations could revolve around David’s busy schedule, potentially landing on a Sunday. Ross humorously quipped that, being in the prime of his youth, David wouldn’t be too tired to perform on their wedding day.
This conversation on The Jonathan Ross Show highlights the lasting impact of Craig David‘s music and the joy it brings to fans’ lives. Whether it’s playing at weddings or making surprise appearances, David’s dedication shines through as he continues to create memorable experiences for his listeners.
