It's always a good day when Lewis Capaldi is handed a microphone - and his most recent performance didn't disappoint.
Not only did the Someone You Loved singer belt out his beloved ballads, he gave fans a hilariously unfiltered insight into his life.
Lewis joked about his sex life and his apparent lack of new songs as he headlined Isle of Wight festival last night.
The Scottish star admitted his nerves as he performed in front of thousands of festival goers on the Saturday night of the four day event.
In classic Capaldi fashion, Lewis poked fun at himself and joked that he has had ‘lots of sex’.
He told fans: “I’m very rusty at this. It’s been a while since I did a gig like this, which is also what I tell every girl I have a one night stand with.
“Yes I have had lots of sex. Lots of sex. This is gonna be fun, but I’m very nervous.”
The singer has enjoyed global successful since his breakthrough single Someone You Loved - and the star promised fans new music in 2022.
But festival goers hoping to hear a few new tunes last night were left disappointed, as the performer admitted he had been 'lazy' over the pandemic.
Lewis said: “I was meant to play new music but I’m a lazy c**t and didn’t do it over lockdown.”
In January 2021, Lewis announced that he would be taking a break from social media to ‘crack on and finish’ his follow up to his 2019 debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.
A couple of months later, he told supporters that he had been writing ‘loads of tunes’ but admitted that Covid restrictions made it harder for him to record what he had been working on.
He added at the time: “I’m really sorry, I won’t be out there with you this year but I’ll be back in 2022 with new music and a s**t load of shows in as many places as I can possibly get to across the world.”
Lewis will play in the likes of Cork, Dublin, Belfast and Manchester before returning for a homecoming show at Glasgow’s TRNSMT Festival on Sunday, July 10.
