Craig David is a household name - and the Queen acknowledged that in 2020 when he was named in the New Year Honours List.
He received an MBE for his services to music after he rose to fame with debut album Born to Do It back in 2000, which featured ‘7 Days’ and ‘Fill Me In’ which both topped the UK charts at the time.
His sixth album, Following My Intuition catapulted him back to the top of the UK charts in 2016, and his comeback saw him headline Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage in 2017.
He is one of the most successful male musicians from the UK, with 20 Top 40 singles, and seven Top 40 albums to his name.
When his tour was postponed during the pandemic, he wrote a statement saying his tour would be ‘beyond special and I’ll be singing my heart out for you on another level.’
He will be bringing that energy when he performs at this weekend's Jubilee concert - but hopefully it won't be as awkward as his last royal routine.

Back in 2021, Craig said there was "a lot of tension" when he performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's last public outing as working members of the Royal Family.

He made the confession after his performance at the Commonwealth Day Service, which is understood to have been Prince Harry and Meghan's final event as senior royals .
During a discussion about meeting such individuals on Jonathan Ross ’ chat show, David told the host and other guests about his experience at the event.
He commented: "I performed at Westminster Cathedral. [There was] a lot of tension going on at that period of time."
The singer-songwriter continued: "Harry and Meghan were there. I went to sing for the Commonwealth celebrations."
David said that he still remembers walking up as part of the procession, noting that the Queen was watching. He then reminisced about when he gave an acoustic performance.
He said: "The moment she looked up and that moment of acknowledgement ... the full vibes. Everyone in the family."
The Grammy Award nominee added: "I always talk about how music is healing and a form of therapy. I could feel it cut through. There was a part where Harry looked up, Meghan looked up, I felt it really landed in their hearts."
Further commenting on the experience, he said: "It felt like that was the one moment where I was able to witness that."
