David picked up the ?Professional Artist Recognition? award at the ? ?South East Entertainment awards?. He was up against some of the best acts in the country and the votes came in thick and fast from not only the judges but the public too. David was also asked to open the whole ceremony with a one-off performance of Smooth Criminal.

David was asked to do an interview for the prime-time programme ?The One Show?, with reference to Michael Jackson?s HIStory album. Back in June 1995, Michael was due to release this album and when asked how he would like to promote it, Michael told Sony record executives, ?Build a statue of me.?The interview, by Nick Hewer, took place by the side of the River Thames. David was wearing the exact outfit that the statue of Michael had been dressed in. The intention was for the BBC to recreate the scenario and float David on a barge down the river. However, the attempt had to be cancelled due to bad weather

In October 2013, David and his team flew to Holland to meet Margret Van Zundert at her Veldhoven Studio. He was photographed and filmed modelling Michael?s iconic poses whilst dressed in some of his most recognised outfit designs. These images have since been used in promotional media for David?s shows. Whilst there Holland Star TV1 filmed and interviewed David for various television stations. David still often performs in Holland and is due to perform this year at the ?Michael Jackson Memorial day?- June 23rd, 2018.

Between a tight schedule of shows in around the UK, David and his team flew off from Stansted for a three-day festival in Bucharest, Romania. On arrival, they were met by their personal driver, in a blacked-out Mercedes, who showed them around Bucharest town centre. The festival brings together some of the world?s greatest tributes including Adele, Queen, Metallica, Guns and Roses just to mention a few. Promotion, prior to the event, had billboards of David and the festival all over Bucharest and coverage on the national news. The official Heyday Facebook page posted a video greeting that David had pre-recorded and it drew an impressive 72,000 views.

David was hired to perform Billie Jean for the new BBC 2 series, ?Pompidou?. This stars Matt Lucas playing the lead along with some other very well known actors. Having spent a long period of time on set, Matt revealed to David that he is a Michael Jackson fan and ?Had to get him Envolved?. David and Matt still remain in contact and Matt has even supplied video greetings for David?s show. Another funny video ofthe pair messing around on setan be found on youtube as well as watching the full episode on Netflix.

As Neverland was up for sale when David went to visit, he wasn?t sure what to expect when he pulled up outside. As he approached the gates they swung open so he had a great view of the estate. The team on site were really interested to find out about David and what he does and they shared with him their thoughts on the property and how it was in very good condition despite being empty for many years.

After thousands of shows, we decided it was time to release a DVD of David Boakes in concert. The footage was shot over a 2 day festival in Derbyshire with David and his live band. Nothing compares to the hype and vibe of a crowd at a summer festival especially when there are Michael Jackson fans in the house. The stage and lighting team used on this show were responsible for Glastonbury?s main pyramid stage and have previously worked with near enough every major group and act on our screens. Even Nova Bartle who worked on Michael?s ?Dangerous tour? was on site and knew exactly what David wanted.
