Lewis Capaldi reveals what Elton John said in supportive message about Scots star's imposter syndrome

Lewis Capaldi has opened up about the email of encouragement he received from music legend Elton John.

The West Lothian superstar bared his soul in his documentary How I'm Feeling Now, which gives an intimate insight into Lewis' life as he writes his second album while grappling with anxiety and his Tourette's diagnosis. Lewis, 26, is good pals with Ed Sheeran, and while he doesn't make a cameo in the documentary, he is mentioned at a pivotal moment.

The Someone You Loved singer opened up about a conversation he had with Ed about his "imposter syndrome" - which typically leaves people feeling like they don't belong or are a fraud. In the documentary, Lewis states: “I have never been more insecure in my life than I am now. I feel like I’m in a race against the clock to get my mental health in order."
