Lewis Capaldi: Get to know the 'Someone You Loved' singer

Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi has taken the world by storm since he first topped charts with his debut hit ‘Someone You Loved’ in 2018. The public quickly fell in love with the ballad singer’s unique sense of humour and powerful vocal talent. His highly-anticipated second album, gifted us with tracks such as 'Pointless', the BRIT-nominated 'Forget Me' and 'Wish You The Best'.

Lewis’ iconic Glastonbury Festival performance stole the public’s hearts in 2023, when crowds encouraged the singer to keep going when his voice faltered. He’s currently taking a break from touring after his Tourette's diagnosis took its toll on his health – but says he hopes to be back ‘some day very soon’. Here's everything you need to know about the ‘Hold Me While You Wait’ singer…

Lewis Capaldi at Glastonbury

Lewis took to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2023, performing in a late afternoon slot on the Saturday ahead of Lizzo. Although he sang many of his huge hits very well, he started to struggle towards the end of the performance due to losing his voice and his recent diagnosis of Tourette's Syndrome.

He told the crowd: "I'm going to be honest everybody, but I'm starting to lose my voice up here, but we're going to keep going and we're going to go until the end. I just need you all to sing with me as loud as you can if that's okay?"

The incredible audience powered him through, and were able to sing his songs for him when he couldn't. Although he apologised to those who came to see him, they showed their support by singing "Oh, Lewis Capaldi".

Lewis announced a tour break

At the end of his Glastonbury performance, Lewis announced that he would be taking some more time off to fully recover: "I recently took three weeks off just because I've been non-stop the past year and I wanted to take a wee break from my head for my mental health.

"I wanted to come back and do Glastonbury because it's obviously so incredible so I just want to thank you all for coming out. I was scared but you've really made me feel at ease so thank you very much for that."

Three days after his performance at Glasto, Lewis took to Instagram to confirm that he would not be going on tour as planned towards the end of the year, writing: 'I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I'd hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out.

'But the truth is I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.

'I'm so incredibly sorry to everyone who had planned to come to a show before the end of the year but I need to feel well to perform at the standard you all deserve. Playing for you every night is all I've ever dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I'll be back as soon as I possibly can.'

On New Year's Eve 2023, Lewis shared an update on his health, in addition to announcing the release of 'Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent' (Extended Edition)', which includes five extra tracks.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote: 'Firstly, I want to start this by saying I hope you're all doing well out there, I've missed you! As most of you will know, I'm currently taking some time off to focus on my health and wellbeing and it's been going great!

'I've been working with some incredible professionals to help me learn about and cope better with my Tourette's and anxiety issues. I'm really happy to say I've noticed a marked improvement in both since I decided to take some time off back in June.'

Lewis cancelled his shows before Glasto

Lewis was already struggling before he took to the stage at Glastonbury, cancelling performances for three week ahead of his show at Worthy Farm. Posting a statement on his Instagram Story, Lewis wrote: 'The last few months have been full on both mentally and physically, I haven't been home properly since Christmas and at the moment I'm struggling to get to grips with it all.

His Tourette Syndrome diagnosis

Why did Lewis push back his album release?

While taking to the stage at Latitude Festival in July, Lewis revealed to his fans a very honest reason why he hadn't finished his second album yet - admitting he's been 'lazy'.

As the crowd welcomed Lewis back to the stage with open arms, the singer revealed: "I just want to say now, I have no new music to play you", before continuing: "I rescheduled a lot of shows last year because I was like, ‘Guys, I need to finish my new album’. And I was supposed to do it, but I am horribly lazy."

The 'Before You Go' singer then closed the night off with a set full of his "old stuff", telling the crowd: "I’m glad you enjoy it, because it’s all we’ve got." We appreciate your honesty, Lewis!

How did Lewis Capaldi return to music?

After a three-year break, Lewis wiped his Instagram feed of all prior content at the end of August 2022, in a move that has seen other artists gear up to release new music.

Not only that, but Lewis got fans even more excited when he teased that he would be revealing something on 2nd September, directing fans to go to his TikTok on that date.

2\nd September turned out to be the date when Lewis announced his first new music since the break, a song called 'Forget Me'.

Lewis Capaldi's song 'Forget Me'

After the big reveal on 2nd September, Lewis released 'Forget Me' the following week on 9th September along with a lyric video.

Touched by the response to the song on the day of its release, he told fans on his Instagram Story: "I didn't know what was going to happen when we came back, I didn't know if people were going to be interested or want to hear a song from me after all this time away.

"It genuinely means the world to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it's nice to know that some people still care."

The following week, he released a music video for the song, which he said was his: "Favourite video that has ever been made by anybody ever".

Contrary to the song's sad lyrics, the music video is playful and is a recreation of Wham!'s 'Club Tropicana' music video, which Lewis clearly has fun embracing.

Watch 'Forget Me' by Lewis Capaldi:

Who is 'Forget Me' about?

Lewis revealed that the hit is about his ex-girlfriend. He told us at Hits Live: "It's a song about my ex-girlfriend who is a lovely girl, we still get on well enough. I don't think the song is disparaging.

He joked: "A year after we had broken up, I was kind of going through a low bit and I was creeping on her Instagram and she looked like she was having a really good life, and I was angered by this. It was one of those things I wrote and then I got over it and it was all good. I think she knows that but we haven't spoken about it explicitly."

Lewis discovered that Doctor Who star Peter is his dad’s second 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."

What is Lewis Capaldi's mental health campaign for live shows?

'LIVELIVE' is a mental health support system, which is designed to help fans who have anxiety. The system offers them advice, time out and a gig buddy system is also available.

Lewis originally announced details of the support system in 2019. The singer shared a number of Instagram Stories from his tour explaining what fans can expect from 'LIVELIVE'.

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 means that for an extra 50p per ticket, fans will 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.

"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'.

Which TV shows has Lewis been on?

None so far - but after our friends at heatworld included him in the 2019 April Fool's cast list for the fictional Celebrity Love Island, he said he'd be up for it! Speaking to us in August 2019, Lewis said that they need some "diversity" on the show, joking: "They need a man with his pale belly hanging out, with his stretch marks and everything," adding that he'd have a go at Celebrity Big Brother too, if it gets brought back.

He also told us in May 2019 that he'd go for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Although he was initially tentative about going into the I'm A Celeb jungle, Lewis said: "I just think, I can be amusing in 15-second bursts. But, as soon as you see that most of the time, I just sit a lot on my phone.

"I mean, I wouldn’t in the jungle. But, I think I’m just not that good. But, if they wanna get in touch with me, and are going to pay me, I would happily do it!"

He followed this up in 2022 with a (now deleted) tweet that makes it seem as though the singer is still up for it! When asked by a fan when he was going on the show, he wrote: 'I will eat a kangaroo b-llock if I have to in the name of my #art'. (sic)

Talking about appearing on talk shows, he also commented that: 'They are all absolutely terrifying'.

During a trip to Hollywood where he stayed in a hotel, Lewis documented his sheer shock when he used the toilet (for a number two) and it wouldn't flush. Not panicking, the singer decided to look for the toilet brush, but there wasn't one, driving him into a hilarious rant to his Instagram followers.

Lewis told us: "I wouldn’t lie about that! You should have seen me when I walked into the toilet and saw what I left myself in the night, it was like a dirty Santa Claus. There are some weird people on Hollywood Boulevard, people getting photos and stuff with me, a plunger in hand."
