Lewis Capaldi does heartwarming duet with deaf fan in backstage video
It's such a lovely moment!
Last updated 27th Apr 2021
Lewis Capaldi is fast becoming a music legend - not only does he have the voice of an angel, but he's also absolutely hilarious, too. Just take a quick scroll down his Instagram feed, and that will become abundantly clear - as will his love of sunglasses!
But one other thing to know about Lewis is that he's actually an incredibly decent person, and an all-round nice guy - proven by his recent participation in a video which will seriously tug on the heartstrings.
After performing at the Belladrum Festival in Scotland last weekend (1st - 3rd Aug), Lewis then met one of his young fans, a 10-year-old girl called Niamdh Braid who was born deaf, after her parents set up a campaign for Lewis to meet the little girl.
But not only did Lewis take time out to meet her and spend time with her, but he then made her dreams come true by doing a very unique duet with Niamdh. Whilst he sang his hit single 'Someone You Loved', Niamdh translated the song in British Sign Language.
Fans were incredibly emotional after watching the video, and took to Twitter to share their thoughts. One wrote, 'Yes! I love this!! Everyone needs to see what a beautiful language British Sign Language is !!' as another added, 'Waw what a beautiful gesture! Lots of respect and <3.' sic
Her mum Sam told The Scotsman, "Niamdh was absolutely elated that Lewis took the time to sing with her. He was such a down-to-earth guy, he even admitted he was nervous and he was great with the kids.
"He even posed for pictures in the glasses he is famous for wearing in videos and gave them to the kids as a gift. All Niamdh wanted to do was raise some awareness, and show other deaf children that you can do anything you want to do."
We're not crying, YOU are!
