Lewis Capaldi made a surprise appearance at Noah Kahan’s gig at BST Hyde Park on Friday after wowing fans at Glastonbury last week following his break from the spotlight
Lewis Capaldi sent a tear-jerking message to fans at Noah Kahan’s gig in Hyde Park last night. The Scottish star, 28, who brought the house down singing Northern Attitude with Kahan – who has been vocal about his own mental health journey – is now back where he belongs after taking a break from the spotlight following a difficult few years.
Following his glittering return to Glastonbury last week after taking time out to focus on his mental health and ‘adjust’ to his Tourette’s diagnosis after he was left unable to finish his set back at Worthy Farm in 2023, Lewis told fans – who had no idea he would be performing at BST – he was glad to be back.

The singer, who ran onto the stage in darkness before joining Kahan in the second verse of their song, told fans of his new track, Survive: “Survive is this week’s UK Number One, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who’s been streaming it, downloading it – it really means the world.”
Thanking the audience for their “outpouring of love”, he continued: “I’ve been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible.
“I can’t thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury – and now this! It’s been the best week of my life. I hope you continue to enjoy the song, it means a lot to me. “
After bringing fans to tears at Glastonbury last week, Lewis has shifted a whopping 68,500 Survive records in its first week, including more than four million streams, surpassing the much-loved singer’s previous best of 56,000 with the 2022 song Forget Me.
The musician, who has spoken openly about having been diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, heartbreakingly had to pull out of Glastonbury two years ago as he told fans: “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.”
Lewis issued an update later that year in which he said: “I’m currently taking some time off to focus on my health and wellbeing and it’s been going great! “
Following his epic comeback last week, it has now been announced that Lewis will embark on a UK and Ireland tour later this year.
The news was shared on June 30 and it’s been revealed that the star will perform ten shows in cities including Manchester and Glasgow.
The new tour, which will be Lewis’ first headline tour in more than two years, will kick off in Sheffield on September 7 and is scheduled to conclude in Dublin on September 29.
The Hold Me While You Wait star will visit a host of other cities in between those two dates, including two nights at the O2 in London. He will also visit venues in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and Cardiff.
