Notting Hill Carnival runs from August 25-26 and local reports are saying one million revellers are expected to attend.

David released his hit single 7 Days in 2000, topping international charts.

He is also known for hits including Fill Me In and Walking Away.

He recently announced he's set to tour the UK on his Commitment tour early next year.

"I'm so excited to announce my 'Commitment Tour' is coming to the UK next year💫 I can't wait to see you all there, this one's going to be beyond a vibe," he wrote.

The tour kicks off in February and includes dates at London's 02, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham.

He recently reflected on his success over the years to 9honey Celebrity and said about staying grounded: "I think the most important thing that I've learned over the years is to find balance."

"With the success that I've had, what comes with that is the privacy element is obviously a lot less. You have to recognise that's what comes with success and embrace it.

"I always make sure that I balance it. Otherwise, you can end up living a surreal life."
