Lewis Capaldi makes second concert comeback in a week joining chart-topping star as surprise guest
LEWIS Capaldi made his second concert comeback in a week tonight as he joined a chart-topping star on stage as a special guest.
The Someone You Loved singer played a surprise set at Glastonbury last weekend, his first gig in two years.
Lewis, 28, had taken a break from his music career in 2023 to focus on his health, and was delighted and emotional in equal measure as he received a huge welcome from the Worthy Farm crowd.
Following the gig – which saw him perform new track Survive – Lewis confirmed he is hitting the road on a brand new tour in September.
But before that, he delighted fans on Friday night when he took to the stage at BST Hyde Park Festival alongside headliner Noah Kahan.
American singer Noah, 28, put on a cracking show for the crowd before bringing Lewis on for the encore.
The pair then performed Noah’s hit 2022 single, Northern Attitude, together.
The appearance comes after Lewis spoke out about his Glastonbury performance, which came two years after his final performance at the festival before stepping away from the spotlight.
In a heart-warming video posted on his social media, he revealed his true feelings surrounding the burn-out.
Speaking from the heart, he told fans: “One word to describe how I’m feeling now is… spectacular.”
Looking back over his Glastonbury experience in 2023, he admitted: “This should be like, a really happy moment, and it isn’t.
“I’m like, achieving my dream here. If there was a film about being a singer, and starting as a kid, and they’d be like, Oh, I’d love to be a singer one day and perform in front people, I’ve done it.
“I’ve got to the end of the film and it’s not how I thought it was going to be.
“And all these people are singing at me and I feel 1,000 miles away there, and I watch it back and actually feel sad.
“Second song in, I was probably just thinking, this has to be it, like… I can’t keep doing this to myself.
“As far as I was concerned, it was like, I’m done. I didn’t take a break to just focus on getting better.
“I took a break because I needed a break and to sort of release the pressure valve a little bit.”
Thank you so much for still being here.” Lewis Capaldi
Within the montage, Lewis added pictures and home-filmed clips of himself performing as a youngster, full of hopes and dreams.
He captioned the tear-jerking montage: “Been mad looking back at it all. Thank you so much for still being here.”
