Lewis Capaldi pictured partying with Loose Women star and pals at Glastonbury
Lewis Capaldi was spotted at Glastonbury posing up a storm with Loose Women star Denise Welch and her pals. The Scots singer played a surprise set at the Somerset festival on Friday afternoon.
His appearance delighted fans at Worthy Farm after he had taken an 'extended break' from the music business two years ago. In 2023, whilst on stage at the festival, Lewis was visibly struggling with his Tourette's Syndrome to the point fans had to finish his songs for him.
But on Friday Lewis surprised crowds as the TBA act and told them: 'The last three years haven't been the best for me. It's been a difficult time. This has been my f***ing goal, to get back here doing this.'
He added: 'The second time's a charm. I've really really missed doing this over the last few years. As I say, it's been difficult at times to think that this maybe wouldn't ever happen again.
"Genuinely from the bottom of my heart, it means the f***ing world.'
And following his incredible performance it seemed Lewis stuck around to see the rest of the acts of the evening which included headliners The 1975.
The band's frontman is Matty Healy, who just happens to be the son of Loose Women star Denise Welch.
And it seems Denise and her pals pulled Lewis aside for a snap which was then later posted on Instagram.
Ahead of Lewis' surprise set which has delighted fans all over the world, he released his brand new song, Survive, which is already sitting at number 1 in the charts.
The emotional song, which charts his battle with anxiety and Tourette's, marks another successful comeback by the singer.
The song has become the nation's biggest selling track of the week with Someone You Loved also tipped by the Official Charts Company to re-enter the Top 20.
Survive had been described by 28-year old Lewis's team as 'a bold and brave new anthem that underscores a challenging period in his career that ended at Glastonbury 2023 when the Pyramid Stage crowd helped carry an emotional Capaldi over the finish line.'
In it, he sings, 'I swear to God I'll survive, if it kills me to, I'm gonna' get up and try, if it's the last thing I'll do.'
The worldwide success and adulation took its toll and he stayed out of the limelight before playing the Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage to one of the weekend's biggest crowds.
He fought back the tears several times during the show at the Worthy Farm site and was met with a deafening roar having taken the stage.

Fantastic Four star Julian McMahon dies of cancer aged 56 as wife pays tribute
Julian McMahon, also known for his roles in Charmed and Nip/Tuck, has died at the age of 56 following a battle with cancer. Charmed and Nip/Tuck actor Julian McMahon has died aged 56 after a private battle with cancer. He passed away in Clearwater, Florida on July 2, with his wife paying tribute to the 'beloved' Charmed star. "With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer," Kelly McMahon told Deadline. "Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories." The Australian performer, son of former Prime Minister Billy McMahon, began his journey as a model before transitioning into acting during the late 80s, reports the Mirror. He featured in Home and Away from 1990 to 1991 before making his film debut alongside Elliott Gould in Wet and Wild Summer. He subsequently relocated to Hollywood to pursue his acting ambitions, appearing in NBC's Another World in 1993 before securing parts in Profiler, in Charmed as Cole Turner, and Fantastic Four as Dr Doom. Audiences will remember him for securing his first leading television role in Ryan Murphy's Nip/Tuck, which spanned six seasons and earned him a Golden Globe nomination for portraying Dr Christian Troy. His leading man status saw him star in FBI: Most Wanted as Jess LaCroix for three seasons, before his departure in 2022. His final two film roles were as Scally in The Surfer and Chick Carlson in The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat. This year, he also portrayed Prime Minister Stephen Roos in Netflix's The Residence. Julian tied the knot with Dannii Minogue in 1994 after they met on the set of Home and Away a few years earlier. He even featured in her music video for This Is It, which was inspired by their relationship. Their careers often kept them apart, with him working in the US and her in the UK. A year and a half later, they decided to part ways. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

In 1999, he wed Baywatch star Brooke Burns, and they welcomed a daughter in 2000 before ending their marriage in 2001. He then married for a third time in 2014 to Kelly Paniagua. He once opened up about his experience of living in America while identifying as Australian. He expressed: "I feel like I'm Australian on the inside and American on the outside or something. I would never want to leave it behind either. "I love Australians, Australianisms, I love my part of being Australian. I love where I grew up and how I grew up and, you know, I wouldn't change it for the world."

Noah Kahan sends fans wild as he brings out surprise guest Lewis Capaldi at his BST Hyde Park headline show - after Scottish singer's emotional Glastonbury comeback
Noah Kahan sent fans wild after he brought out Lewis Capaldi as a surprise guest at his headline show at BST in Hyde Park on Friday. After an incredible set including guest appearances from Gracie Abrams and Gigi Perez, the singer saved the best for last after he brought out the Scottish hitmaker for his penultimate song Northern Attitude. Following the song's first verse and chorus, the lights went dark before a mystery guest was seen running on to the stage. And as the second verse began, the lights went up to reveal Lewis, with the fans going wild for the pair's collaboration. The duo wore matching Chelsea football shirts while singing the emotional ballad together in Lewis' second UK festival appearance in just one week. Lewis made his epic return to the stage last weekend for a surprise set at Glastonbury following a difficult few years. He took a two-year hiatus to focus on his mental health and 'adjust' to his Tourette's diagnosis after he was left unable to finish his Glastonbury set back in 2023. But he reduced fans to tears when he finally returned to Glastonbury over the weekend, and his comeback has been nothing short of exceptional. Lewis also released brand new track Survive on Friday, which details his difficult two years - and it's been a huge hit with millions of fans across the country as it has topped the charts. Lewis has landed not only his biggest ever opening, but the largest first week of any single released this year with the comeback track in a landslide achievement. Survive has shifted a whopping 68,500 units in its first week, including more than four million streams, surpassing the much-loved singer's previous best of 56,000 with the 2022 song Forget Me. Gushing about the support he's received since his highly-anticipated comeback last week, Lewis said: 'Survive is this week's UK Number 1, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who's been streaming it, downloading it - it really means the world. 'I've been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible. 'I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury - and now this! 'It's been the best week of my life. I hope you continue to enjoy the song, it means a lot to me.' Lewis pipped producers MK and Chrystal to top spot as their track Dior sat in second in place, while filling the remaining three spots in the top five were Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild, Rayvn Lenae's Love Me Not and Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan. Such is the mania surrounding Lewis' return that the public's interest in his old music has too sky-rocketed after he made a tearful return to Glastonbury last week. Streams of Someone You Loved shot up by 115 per cent, while his 2019 chart-topping album Divinely Inspired surged by 198 per cent. Lorde, who took to the stage just hours before Lewis at Glastonbury last Friday, also scored her first ever Number 1 album in the United Kingdom this week with Virgin. She beat competition from Bruce Springsteen's Tracks II (second), Short N Sweet from Sabrina Carpenter (third), and Ed Sheeran in fourth spot. The New Zealand-born singer, whose racy new vinyl cover sparked controversy, said she couldn't believe the support she's received since the new album dropped. Speaking to the Official Charts, Lorde gushed: 'I cannot believe that I've got Number 1 in the UK! This is absolutely insane. 'I felt so much love from the UK on Virgin. I cannot thank you enough and I cannot wait to see you on tour very, very soon!' Glastonbury was quite the star-studded affair but a major highlight was Lewis' emotional return to the spotlight. Greeted by huge cheers from the thousands at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage last week, he made an emotional return two years after he was left unable to finish his set at the festival. He tearfully told supporters: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!' Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed Survive for the first time in front of scores of supporters. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved. In his emotional speech, Lewis said: 'Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'. 'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'. Amid the success of the performance and that of his tear-inducing new single, the Scotsman announced a new tour this week consisting of 10 dates. The Someone You Love singer will play venues in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Nottingham and two days at the 02 later this year. Lewis confirmed on Instagram that these would be his 'only shows' in the UK, Ireland and Europe this year. Pre-sale tickets go on sale on July 8, while general sale is on July 10.
