At just 17 , Craig was discovered after featuring on Re-Rewind by Artful Dodger which reached the dizzying height of number two on UK charts in 1999. This instant and early success paved the way for his solo career, solidified by hits Fill Me In and (of course) 7 Days.
However, the now 43-year-old singer won’t be re-recording his old tracks with a fresh twist anytime soon. He told Metro.co.
uk after ‘tough’ challenges he’s faced, he doesn’t want to mess with the ‘special’ memories by releasing new versions. ‘To be honest, I wouldn’t go there,’ Craig said. ‘Another artist remixing your record or sampling your record is cool but I just feel it lives in that space now.
‘When you go in and try and change it, it just doesn’t land the same way as when you did it the first time around.’ Thankfully, fans will still hear the classics when heading to a TS5 tour show as Craig is more than willing to sing acapella versions or do a remix. He continued: ‘It’s just a different flex on it but I think revisiting some tunes, you have to be really careful because they hold memories with people at certain times.
‘When you go there in your different place and time, it’s like *sighs*.’ That’s not to say he doesn’t .
