Chart-topping 00s singer looks unrecognisable as he performs hit song in new video
A singer who achieved huge chart success in the noughties was seen performing on the street in London as he belted a rendition of his most famous hit single A former pop star who scored a UK Top 3 single was unrecognisable as he performed on a London street. Just Jack rose to fame in 2007 when he released his hit single Starz In Their Eyes which reached No2 in the UK singles chart. The musician - real name Jack Christopher Allsopp - treated passers by to a rendition of the track in Kings Cross as he joined forces with DJ AG. Jack, 49, wowed passers by as he performed with a guitarist in a video uploaded to Instagram. Fans rushed to comment on the clip as they reminisced about the track and heaped praise on the singer. One fan wrote: "Im 31! I was 14 when this tune came out, I remember having summer party's in the fields with my mates whilst drinking a few bevvy's and this bought back some incredible nostalgia. "He may not realise, but this song along with a few in the years ahead of it, changed peoples lives! Incredible writer, incredible musician. Was nice to hear this and bring back memories I had once forgotten about." A second said: "It's good to see him back. Just jack - long grass. One of the best songs you've never heard! Check that out if you don't know absolute banger!" A third commented: "I ain't heard this for timeeeee…Man like Just Jack you know…Big tune." A fourth said: "This song was a huge part of my childhood and it helped shape who I am today. Thank you." A fifth shared: "Damn, this just bought back something I forgot existed." Jack was a huge star around the release of the song and ended up playing a string of huge festival dates including Glastonbury Festival, V Festival and T4 on the Beach. He has released five studio albums over the years The Outer Marker, Overtones, All Night Cinema, What We Did Today and That Was Now. The performer still makes music now and is now a dad too. He told LadBible in 2023: "I never tried to make a big radio hit. I never really wanted to be like a pop star. It was a strange time, it was a stressful time. I ended up being in a lot of environments that I wasn't particularly comfortable in. "I was grateful for the radio plays and stuff like that, but I never felt at home with pop people. That's never how I saw myself." He added: "I've always been a bit of a control freak. "I think being in that world where you have managers and record labels and all these people around you pulling you in lots of different directions and things not always going as planned, there are so many things that you don't really have control over. "Now I have full control over literally everything, which obviously can be quite a lot of work. But I couldn't be happier with that. It's a great feeling and a real privilege to be in that position."
