The former world number one was a six-time world snooker champion during his illustrious career before retiring in 2016.
However, the relentless winning machine was often seen as “boring” for his style of play, before venturing into commentary after retiring.
Davis’ move into the music scene has been more of a surprise, though, with even the man himself finding it “bizarre”.
He joked in 2018: “The bizarreness of it all now is that at weekends if I am out DJing, I’m partying until 2am or 3am.
“And Jimmy White, who is still on the main tour, is in bed and ready for practice at 8am.
“The roles have reserved. Who’d have thought that? The irony is me rolling in at 6am as Jimmy is getting up.
“He is still practising hard and remains an amazing character but who would have thought the most boring player in the world would have become a DJ? It is bizarre.”
David formed the band The Utopia Strong after retiring and has since played at Glastonbury twice with the techno group.

He even released an album in 2019 and has been a producer on several other projects.
His new career path has caught him by surprise, with Davis telling The Mirror: “I didn’t know my life would turn out like this. You haven’t got a clue… it’s ridiculous.”
He also added: “My life seems to have gone in reverse.
“I started off as a snooker player practising for eight hours a day in a dark room, and I ended up at Glastonbury DJing.
“You just don’t know what is going to happen.”
As for the switch from snooker to DJing, he explained: “I come from another world.
“The snooker world is not that way so it passed me by. Music is my drug of choice. I’ll be having a few beers though, the legal ones.”
Davis will make his third Glastonbury appearance at this year’s festival, which begins on Wednesday, with a DJ set scheduled for Friday.

He will also take to the stage in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley next month.
