An equally talented and charismatic singer-songwriter!

Two years after taking a break for his health, the singer dropped a surprise single called 'Survive', and returned as an unannounced performer at Glastonbury 2025! Since then, he's released an EP also called 'Survive' and been on tour, with more dates announced for next year! As the singer has now met his LEGO likeness, here's everything you need to know about the ‘Hold Me While You Wait’ singer...
How old is Lewis Capaldi?
Lewis' birthday is 7th October 1996, making him currently 29-years-old.

Lewis Capaldi: New music
After a two-year break from music, Lewis surprised fans by dropping a new single called 'Survive' on 27th June 2025. Clearly written about the last two difficult years, the powerful track is made up of incredibly emotional lyrics.
Following the release of 'Survive', the singer told American TV show Good Morning America in July 2025 that he plans to release an EP, and perhaps an album next year. He has now released an EP also called 'Survive', which arrived on 14th November.
He released 'Something In The Heavens' in September 2025. The song is about love, loss and hope — and Lewis called it his 'favourite tune yet'. He then put out 'Almost' in October 2025, with Lewis describing the track as "raw and intimate exploration of what it means to move on – or at least try to. Honest and understated, the song captures the struggle to let go."
How many albums does Lewis Capaldi have?
Officially, two! But he's also released a number of EPs: 'Bloom' in October 2017, 'Breach' in November 2018, 'To Tell the Truth I Can't Believe We Got This Far' in May 2020, 'Cry Yourself To Sleep' in February 2022, 'All The Rest' in May 2025 and upcoming EP 'Survive'.
'Breach' contained songs 'Tough', 'Grace' and 'Someone You Loved'. He then released his first album, 'Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent' in May 2019, which spent six weeks at Number 1 in the UK charts.
It became the fastest-selling album of the year and was certified Gold in the UK one week after its release, which makes it the best-selling debut album by a British artist in over eight years.
In true Lewis style, he announced his album with the statement: "Everyone always tells you about how amazing recording their first album was and how they'll always look back on the 'process' with fond memories. I will look back on it as an extremely stressful time that somehow also managed to be extremely boring."
We also have his second album 'Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent' to enjoy, as well as a special extended edition!

His LEGO likeness
In November 2025, Lewis met his LEGO likeness, as he joined LEGO at the Chalet of Play in London. The singer opened up about how he found LEGO therapeutic telling fans: "Having LEGO around helps take my mind off stuff, I'm so focused on putting it all together that I’m able to put other stuff that’s going on to the back of my mind. There’s also a nice nostalgia tied into it, it’s a lovely feeling."
Is Lewis Capaldi related to Peter Capaldi?
It's true - Lewis Capaldi is related to Peter Capaldi! Lewis discovered that Doctor Who star Peter is his grandad’s first cousin, and he even enlisted the help of Peter to star in his music video for his hit song 'Someone You Loved', which was made in partnership with charity organisation Live Life Give Life in order to raise awareness for the issue of organ donation.
Speaking at the time, Lewis said: "Despite being related, prior to the video I’d only met Peter once when he came along to a show of mine in London last year. It was such a massive honour getting to work with him and director Phil Beastall over the two days we shot. He’s absolutely incredible in the video and I’m so proud of how it turned out."
Speaking about correcting people on how to pronounce their last name, Lewis told us: "I think it sounds quite brash when I say it. He looks a bit wise, and he's very polite, it doesn't sound as bad coming from him. I sound like a petulant child when I say it."
Lewis Capaldi’s brother
Lewis' brother Anthony accidentally became famous in October 2025 after visiting the Singapore Grand Prix with Lewis. When Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle was searching for Lewis to interview him, he came across Anthony and assumed he was Lewis in a hilarious case of mistaken identity.

Lewis opened up to Grazia about mental health, discussing his scheme to alleviate anxiety at live music events. He said: "I want this to become a thing that can be at lots of shows. I was getting inundated with messages on Twitter and Instagram with all this stuff like 'I would love to come to your show but you know, I get panic attacks or I'm not very good in crowds'. Some people just don't want to come alone. And I just thought that it seemed like some people could miss the out on coming to shows, just because of their anxiety."
Due to this, the 'Hold Me While You Wait' singer announced LIVELIVE; an initiative ensuring that anxious fans would have appropriate support available at large shows, allowing them to feel more comfortable. The commendable scheme meant that for an extra 50p per ticket, fans would be able to receive on-site counselling, with a team available to meet fans at the door, escort them to their seats, and help those who want to leave the concert quickly later in the evening - avoiding busy crowds.

What's his net worth?
In 2019, Lewis was reported to be worth a whopping $10 million! But he quickly put those rumours to bed in a hilarious Instagram video. He said: "So I have a day off in Cincinnati, I thought for a laugh I'd Google it and see what the Internet says about my net worth.
"It says according to Forbes and Wikipedia, Lewis Capaldi's estimated net worth is $10million. I have less than £200 in my bank right now!"
He also told us: "The false net worth. I would probably eat loads of bags of crisps and Haribo, Wagamama's... I would say give it to charity but that’s a lie, I would pay my taxes and then I would live out life. That’s it, it's a humble life, pottering on me and my $10 million dollars!"
However, it turns out Lewis is worth quite a bit! In November 2021, the Scottish singer was listed on heat's Rich List, with an estimated £17 million. In the 2022 edition, he was estimated to have shot up to £20.3 million, expected to be mostly from the royalties of his first album and specifically, 'Someone You Loved'.
In heat's rich list 2025, Lewis was reported to be worth a whopping £35 million!
