Speaking at Glastonbury Festival a few weeks back, the 32-year-old told the BBC that he has his sights set on becoming the first UK rapper to headline Worthy Farm (although Stormzy might have something to say about that).

"I don't want to use the word accident because I was trying to write a hit, but I didn't plan for it to cross over. "What's happened with this song is just insane," said Fonsi, who hails from Puerto Rico and sings in Spanish.
