John is perhaps most famous for his song with Rudimental called Feel the Love. 

However, he took a break from music but returned recently with a new single called Holy Love.

He told NME at the start of the year: ‘When you’re touring, no matter if a single’s not doing that well or there’s c**p going on at home or you don’t like yourself as a person, it’s not something you actually know.

‘When that opportunity to run and hide was taken away from me, [in lockdown,] I realised that I was actually miserable and so not happy with how my career was going.

‘I realised that I was just running at a thousand miles an hour to try and cover that up. Taking the free champagne and getting pictures on the red carpet and thinking that was success, when really I’d lost all vision of what success was, which is the pure love and emotion of something that you’ve created doing well.’

He praised his wife for taking care of him. 

He said that while he was battling issues with his mental health, if he didn’t have her. he doesn’t know what would have happened.
