Craig said: “25 years ago, Born to Do It changed my life and so many of yours. I couldn’t let this anniversary pass without celebrating it with you. So, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be performing at The Eventim Apollo for an exclusive show on 9th April next year, performing the entire album from start to finish.”
“It’ll be a night to sing, vibe and celebrate together,” he added.
The album went straight to number one in 2000, and it was the fastest-selling debut album ever by a British male solo artist.
It has since sold more than 7.5million copies.
Fans can't believe it's been that long: "HOW has it been 25 years? I refuse to believe it" wrote one.
"I was 11! First album I ever owned," recalled another, while someone else simply wrote "25?!?!?!?!"
This fan had a trip down memory lane too: "First ever concert when I was 10! I need to go."
Craig has said he will play the album in full, as well as his greatest hits.
