Lewis Capaldi was moved to tears at his BST Hyde Park show as he confessed that he "wasn't sure if it would be possible" for him to perform again following his Tourette's diagnosis.

The Someone You Loved hitmaker, 29, was overcome with emotion after his first concert in London on Saturday (11.07.26) night as he reflected on the time he took away from the spotlight after the condition - which causes involuntary tics - overshadowed his performance at the Glastonbury Festival in 2023.

Lewis said on stage: "To be here with you all and to be able to..."

The Scottish singer was unable to finish his sentence as he paused to compose himself.

He added: "I didn't know if this would be possible again so to be here it's really special for me!"

Lewis also begged fans to stay until the end of the gig as he joked that the crowd would be leaving to watch England's FIFA World Cup quarter-final against Norway.

The Forget Me artist said: "Thank you for being here! Although I know a lot of you might leave when the England game comes on.

"Let's not get into it. I'm Scottish, most of you guys are English. Can't we all live in peace and harmony? It's coming home.

"But it's f****** special that you're here, I appreciate you being here when you could be anywhere else.

"Even if you do go to the pub early... I mean, stay please, as many of you stay until the end as possible."

Meanwhile, Capaldi is said to have spent £2,000 on drinks for England supporters at the Marlborough pub in Mayfair when the Three Lions beat Mexico at the World Cup last week as partied with pop star Rita Ora.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "When the final whistle went and England won, Lewis bought every single punter in the Marlborough a drink.

"Bar staff were instructed to charge all the drinks ordered to him. The tab was almost £2,000 in the end. It was a massive treat and a real lovely gesture, especially from a Scotland fan.

"Lewis was there from kick-off with his mates and was joined by Rita, who was with her friends, as the night went on. Lewis was a proper legend."
