Capaldi back on stage

LEWIS Capaldi performed on stage for the first time in two years at a charity gig in Edinburgh to raise funds for suicide prevention.

Capaldi, 28, last performed publicly at Glastonbury in 2023 before taking a break citing anxiety, and announced on New Year's Eve the same year that he planned to take a hiatus to focus on his health.

On Friday night, the singer-songwriter performed six songs, including 2019 hit Someone You Loved, at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh, in aid of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm), a mental health charity he has previously raised funds for.

Fans were asked not to film any of the set, with their phones placed in sealed pouches throughout it, the BBC reported.
