Calling the experience 'madness,' the musician notes, 'It was the last place on the planet I expected to hear my songs being played.'

AceShowbiz - Pop star Craig David had a bizarre experience in a remote Costa Rica convenience store when he realised his music was playing as he shopped.
The Brit was picking up essentials on vacation when he heard a familiar tune, and realised the owner was playing his CD.
"It was madness," he tells SWNS.com. "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 rainforest. It was the last place on the planet I expected to hear my songs being played."
Craig opened up about the weird experience as he boarded the Marella Explorer in Palma, Majorca ahead of the cruise ship's maiden voyage on Saturday, May 19.
He performed a hits set for staff during the trip - the first time Craig had played on a ship.
And when he gets back on firm land, the singer is planning a binge-watching summer, so he can catch up on all his favourite shows - and start checking out Game of Thrones.
"I haven't even seen Games of Thrones yet," he explains. "Everyone is always going, 'What? You haven't seen Game of Thrones?' It's a great position to be in. I haven't started it yet so I have the entire box set to look forward to. At the moment I don't get that much time to watch box sets.
"If I have got enough time to watch box sets I should probably be spending that time in the studio, or writing songs - but Game of Thrones is on my list for sure. When you start on a box set, it is easy to get lost in it and tick off the next one and the next one. I was like that with 24. I loved 24. That was something I ended up staying up until 4am to watch, and I was like, 'How is this happening? I haven't been watching it since 7pm, have I?"
