Pop legend Craig David popped into a remote, ramshackle convenience store to grab supplies in Costa Rica – and found the owner playing his debut CD

The multi-platinum selling and award-winning artist, 37, was trudging along a trail on the way to film an acoustic set in a rain forest when he spotted the tiny shop.

Eager to grab some water for the last leg of the trip the team wandered in only to discover the owner was a Craig David fan.

Craig revealed the bizarre moment as he was interviewed ahead of a surprise one-off gig for 1,200 TUI staff on Marella Cruises’ new ship Marella Explorer.

He said: ‘’It was madness, the guy recognised me when I walked in.

‘’He was going ‘Noooooo – I can’t believe it’. He only had three CDs – and mine was one of them.

‘’It was a crazy moment. We were on our way to a rain forest. It was the last place on the planet I expected to hear my songs being played.’’

Craig is enjoying a huge renaissance and has amassed an army of younger fans since he returned home from Miami two years ago.

Discussing the future Craig said he would love to duet with Ed Sheeran at some point and added he would write songs for other artists full-time when it’s time to hang up the mic, although he has no plans to step away from the stage just yet.
