Lewis Capaldi looks totally different in throwback video aged 13 playing the guitar to Ed Sheeran’s Small Bump
LEWIS Capaldi experienced a pinch me moment last night after his childhood idol performed one of his songs at his sold out show inside the O2 Arena last night.
It was a full circle moment for Lewis, 26, as Ed Sheeran, 32, paid tribute to him in the capital and performed Someone You Loved.
The Scotsman marked the moment on Twitter by sharing a home video of him looking very different as a 13-year-old performing Ed’s track Small Bump.
He wrote: “Me playing Ed Sheeran to my parents when I was 13 Ed Sheeran playing my song to 20,000 people all these years later.”
His followers were deeply moved and congratulated him for all he has achieved.
One wrote: “That moment was insane!!!! Was not expecting Ed to sing your song!! He spoke so highly of you.”
Another said: “Full Circle, how magic.”
A third posted: “So so proud of you Lewis x This video is so cute and so wholesome.”
A fourth said: “This is sooo cool and so deserved! Two amazing artists.”
Someone You Loved was Lewis’s breakout track and topped the UK charts for seven weeks in 2019.
The singer’s humour and candour have endeared him to fans around the world.
His meteoric rise to the top of the pop pile is documented in new Netflix film Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now.
Lewis said of the project: “When I saw the first cut I thought it looked like a film where I die at the end.
“Luckily things turned around and, as far as I’m aware, I don’t die at the end of this.
“It’s pretty vulnerable. There’s a lot of things in the film that were beginning to be resolved that are now resolved.
“It was a wake up call seeing the first draft. I was approached about it in 2019.
“Things were going well, I hadn’t noticed a twitch affecting my life and my anxiety was under control.
“Someone You Loved had been big and the album had done well and I thought the documentary would be the coolest.
“I had these big shows booked for 2020 and I thought I’d look the business.
“Then Covid and all the rest of it happened and it became quite an intimate thing.”
