Chesney Hawkes Reveals Shocking Pop Star Collaboration He Turned Down!

In the past, Chesney Hawkes chose not to work together with a well-known pop artist on a project during an early stage of his own career.

53-year-old pop legend from the ’90s will make an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother airing on ITV starting April 7, a timing that aligns with his return to music charts.

Following the launch of his long-awaited debut album this coming Friday, his tenure at the legendary residence is set to commence – Fresh Shoots.

Prior to resuming his music career, Chesney shared with The Sun an unrealized chance he had with Ed Sheeran.

He talked about producer and friend Jake Gosling, known for collaborating with big-name artists like Sam Smith and Harry Styles, and they are joining forces on his upcoming album.

As he spoke to the press, the musician reminisced about his past, sharing, “I used to work with him on music, and together we were aiming to create a song for artists such as Kylie Minogue.

He shared information with me about a young man named Ed Sheeran who used to sleep on his couch. Jake suggested, “You should join him for a recording.” I replied dismissively, “Ed who? I’m currently collaborating with A1,” implying that I was important and influential.

In reference to the project “Living Arrows”, he playfully remarked: “Next week, I could easily accommodate you among Harry and Sam.

Regarding the upcoming television project of Chesney Hawkes, a media insider shared with The Sun that “Chesney Hawkes is an exceptional British figure in entertainment who appeals to people across different age groups.

‘Everyone knows The One and Only even if the youngsters might not recognise his name.

As a seasoned veteran with several decades under my belt in the entertainment industry, I bring an abundance of insider stories and experiences to Celebrity Big Brother. The producers are eagerly anticipating that, much like Louis Walsh did last year, I might share some juicy tidbits about my celebrity encounters throughout the years.

The source noted that Chesney’s performance on the show was particularly apt, given that he was releasing his return album in April at that time.

In 1991, a man who was a father of three held the top spot on the UK singles charts for five consecutive weeks with his popular single titled “The One and Only.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but acknowledge that despite the challenges he faced in recapturing past glory, he continues to shine brightly, particularly due to his strong ties with the England men’s football squad.

Kenny delivered his popular song during the intermission of England’s 2022 World Cup game against Wales in Qatar. This performance seemed to spur on the Three Lions, resulting in a dominating 3-0 victory for them in the second half.

Last September, Chesney disclosed that he seized the chance to bare all for his newest music video, offering an exclusive sneak peek into his innovative approach to creating ‘Get A Hold Of Yourself’.

In a refreshing throwback to contemporary ’90s music, the renowned pop artist of that era unveiled his debut single in over a decade. This time, he drew inspiration from Barry Keoghan’s memorable scene stripping down for a dance sequence set within a mansion at the climax of the movie Saltburn.

Instantly, Chesney was spotted completely undressed, enjoying a bath in an opulent marble tub, while another image showed him relaxing on a cozy chair.

Another behind-the-scenes shot showed Chesney dancing down a grand staircase nude.

The filming of Chesney’s music video occurred at the grand mansion that belongs to Thomas Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, from the Peaky Blinders series.

Once more, Chesney playfully displayed his well-toned rear in a new photo, standing before his luxurious residence with a confident air.

During the shooting, he chose to don only a beige hat resembling a fedora while striking poses bare-bodied on the staircase.

Previously, Chesney playfully confessed that when creating his music video, he aimed to present an alternative aspect of his personality.

He playfully remarked: “It’s beneficial for everyone to release our individual selves occasionally and experience freedom – this is particularly true for me at my age… I aimed to present an alternate aspect of myself … even if it meant exposing my backside.

I seized the chance to strip down and dance freely, as if no one was there, in Thomas Shelby’s home! Who wouldn’t, given such a chance?

‘My wife says I get my kit off anytime I can ha ha.’

Earlier, it was disclosed that Chesney’s children – Casey (age 23), Jesse (age 21), and Indi (age 18) – whom he shares with his wife Kristina – found the nude video amusing, dismissing it as a ‘midlife crisis’ incident for their father.

There was both laughter and a touch of awkwardness happening, but he admitted that they were okay with it.

I have three children: one is 18, another is 21, and the last one is 23. They often remark, “Dad seems to be enjoying life and going through what we call a ‘middle-aged enthusiasm’.

In the meantime, Chesney believes that his latest single might catch some of his followers off guard due to its “dance vibe.

He mentioned that the tune carries an unexpected dance vibe. His aim was for listeners to hear it on the radio and exclaim, “That’s Chesney Hawkes?!”

He pointed out that there’s a dance-like quality to this piece which might catch some people off guard. What he aimed for was a response from the audience like, “Wow, is that really Chesney Hawkes?” when they hear it on the radio.

Chesney last released music in 2012 when he put out his third studio album, Real Life Love.

As a devoted admirer, I’m particularly recognized for my first hit single, “The One and Only,” penned by the talented Nik Kershaw. This iconic tune reigned supreme in the UK for an impressive five weeks and managed to crack the top 10 on the US charts as well.
