David Jordan has revealed that he was approached to play Jimi Hendrix in a West End musical.

The 22-year-old soul singer said the project was still not definitely going to happen, but claimed it would be "amazing" if it came together.

He told the Daily Star: "I was approached a couple of months ago about it and was obviously excited.

"It’s very much in the early stages at the moment but if it comes off it will be amazing."

Jordan also claimed that he is unsatisfied with his moderate chart success to date, commenting: "My last single 'Sun Goes Down' did really well but I want to be bigger and get number ones.

"I’m focusing all my energy at the moment on my career. Everything else, including looking for a relationship, can wait."
