Singer-songwriter Craig David claims he has psychic abilities and can “see things in the future”. The 41-year-old performer told Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast that he has "come out of the closet" about his special talents — and that he feels "very liberated" in making the revelation.
David, who has had 20 UK top 40 singles and seven UK top 40 albums in a music career spanning more than 20 years, says that he is being guided by an ancestor who helps him with his unique gift. David told Cotton: "I’m super empathic, super sensitive and super psychic, which I feel very liberated to say now.
“I was a bit in the closet about being psychic. But I’m very clairvoyant and I can see things in the future. My ears ring off like crazy and I know there’s a guide or some ancestor trying to come through – and tuning in.”
The Standard's news website reports that David, currently gearing up for the release of his eighth studio album and debut self-help book, recently reflected on his 22 years in the music industry and spoke out about being bullied when he was a younger artist. Speaking to Sally Nugent and Jon Kay on BBC Breakfast, he singled out the comedy sketch show Bo Selecta, which saw comedian Leigh Francis don rubber masks and make fun of celebrities, including David.
Francis has since apologised to David and insisted that the character was not based on him, but the Southampton-born musician told the presenters: "What he was doing was slowly bullying not only myself but Mel B, Trisha, and I felt there was no real accountability at that time and I was young, between a rock and a hard place."
