Who is Seal and what are his most famous songs?
Seal is an English singer and songwriter born in London on February 19, 1963.
The Brit Award winner rose to fame with his eponymous debut album in 1991 and has since carved out a long and successful career as a singer and TV judge.

What's the cause of Seal's facial scars?
Seal has prominent scarring to his face which has led to years of insensitive speculation on the cause behind the scars.
The singer's complexion is down to discoid lupus erythematosus - a condition where the immune cells attack body tissues and intense inflammation develop in the skin.
Although Seal's condition, which he contracted aged 23, has been in remission for many years, the scars are permanent.

Seal appeared as a guest judge on Pitch Battle.
Before that, he was a judge on the first two seasons of The Voice Australia between 2012 and 2013.
