Craig David has helped to raise more than £1m for the tsunami disaster appeal after performing at one of the biggest charity concerts in the UK since Live Aid.

Tsunami Relief Cardiff, held at the Welsh capital's Millennium Stadium on Saturday, raised a huge £1.25m for the fund.

The mammoth charity concert was organised in just 20 days and included performances by guitar legend Eric Clapton, The Stereophonics and, of course, Southampton's R'n'B superstar Craig David.

Craig helped liven up the 65,000 capacity crowd with an infectious cover of the Beatles' classic Come Together.

Performing with just his guitarist Fraser T Smith, Craig made the song his own, freestyling over the bridge with some poignant rhymes about peace and love.

He sang two other songs, opening with The Rise and Fall, and closing his set with I'm Walking Away.

Craig releases his new album in the spring and is expected to announce details of a UK tour at the same time.
