The ‘When You Know What Love Is’ hitmaker’s father George is Christian while his mother Tina is Jewish but the 43-year-old singer – who was eight when his parents split – found at the heart of their beliefs was a sense of “community” and “love”, and he’s channelled that into his own music.

Speaking at ‘The National Lottery’s Big Bash’ at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on Wednesday (04.12.24), Craig exclusively told BANG Showbiz: “Every different faith has different ways of getting to the same thing, which ultimately is community and bringing people together.

“And the core of everything I found really came from my parents in the way I was brought up, the way my grandmother would make that chicken casserole for me or my mum picking me up from school.

“Those things you start to see are really the core underlining factor that is love, right?

“And when it goes into making music, I wanted to be quite poetic in the way I do those songs, and also not realising how much of an effect it’s going to have on other people.”

Craig is touched by how much his music means to people.

He added: “People have got married to my songs, they’ve gone on holiday where they met their partner, and they remember where they were and who they were with, and I think, ‘Man, who would’ve thought that would’ve been a part of me.’”

As well as being spiritual, the ‘7 Days’ hitmaker claimed in 2022 that he is clairvoyant, clairaudient – meaning he can hear people from the past and future – and can see what the future holds.
