Craig Davis has rescheduled his live stream concert ‘Born To Do It.’
Previously set to take place later this month, the live stream event will now take place on 8th May 2021 at 8 pm.
Announcing the rescheduled date on Instagram, the British R&B artist and DJ wrote: “I’m really sorry to let you all know we’re having to push the ‘Born To Do It’ online show back to Saturday 8th May at 8pm BST. All tickets remain valid. I can’t wait to perform this album for you guys, All my love, CD.”
The reason behind the rescheduling of the event is unknown. Crosstown Concerts, the promoters of the event, said in a statement: “Crosstown Concerts apologise to all ticket holders and Craig himself but due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to move the date for Craig’s ‘Born To Do It’ global broadcast. All tickets remain valid for the new date and we look forward to presenting a truly magical evening of music.”
The concert is set to be Craig David’s 20th-anniversary performance, revisiting his debut album ‘Born To Do It’ which was released in August 2000, alongside a live band.The album still holds the record for the fastest selling debut album by a British Male Solo act in UK Chart history and the global live stream will be the first time the artist has performed it in full. Speaking on the album’s release and his upcoming virtual concert, David said: “This album means the world to me. I wanted to do something to celebrate the 20th anniversary and as touring live isn’t possible, I couldn’t let the anniversary go by without marking it in some way. Sharing this album with you has been one of the highlights of my career and I never thought I would get the opportunity to do the whole album in full like this – It’s going to be really special. Thank you for all the love and support these past 20 years… wow!”
