Lewis Capaldi plays surprise set while busking on Buchanan Street in Glasgow

Lewis Capaldi launched into an impromptu busking set on Buchanan Street this afternoon (14 September).

Glasgow mid-day commuters and shoppers were shocked to hear the vocals of Lewis Capaldi on the city centre street, and quickly gathered round to watch his set.

Capaldi set up with an acoustic guitar and a microphone outside Princess Square shopping centre on Buchanan Street.

Lewis Capaldi sang his hit ‘Before you go’ followed by his newest single ‘Forget Me’, released just last week.

The singer broadcast his ten minute set live on Instagram.

Addressing the crowd, Lewis spoke about releasing his single last week and how it ‘wasn’t the best week to release a single’.

Capaldi has spoke out recently about his diagnosis with tourettes, and is tiptoeing back into the limelight with his latest release, Forget Me, after a long period with no releases.
