Lewis Capaldi 'blown away' by response to new song after topping the charts
The Glasgow-born singer has enjoyed a remarkable comeback to the music scene in recent weeks. Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi has expressed his astonishment at the overwhelming response to his latest single, marking a triumphant return to the music scene. The 28-year-old's new track, Survive, shot to the top of the charts this week, securing the Number 1 spot. According to the Official Charts, the song has garnered over four million streams in its debut week. That marks the largest opening week of any Number 1 single in 2025 thus far. The accomplishment is the latest milestone in Capaldi's remarkable comeback, which has included a surprise performance at Glastonbury. The Glasgow-born artist also made an appearance at a Swiss music festival and has announced a comeback tour, with scheduled dates at the Hydro and P&J Live in Aberdeen later this year. The talent will also play shows in London, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff, and Dublin. Taking to Instagram, the Forget Me chanter expressed his gratitude, stating he has been "absolutely blown away" by the response and "cannot thank everyone enough". In a video message, he added: "I just wanted to do a video to say thank you to every single person who has streamed, downloaded, and bought a physical copy of Survive this week. "We are number 1 in the UK, it's the fastest-selling song in the UK this year. "I'm over the moon to be back doing what I love doing, and thanks to you we're back at number 1. "I'll see you all soon. Love you. Bye." Thousands of people rushed to the comment section to congratulate the Someone You Loved singer on the feat, including some famous faces. Liverpool musician Jamie Webster commented: "Good to have you back lad. Congratulations." Sonny Jay, Capital Late Show Host and Dancing on ice 2021 champion, scribed: "What a man". Meanwhile, rapper Professor Green and TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson posted red love heart emojis in support. X Factor duo Jedward also made their feelings known, writing: "Always number 1 in our hearts". Last weekend, Capaldi performed a 35-minute set at Glastonbury's Pyramid stage, two years after struggling to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms while singing on the same stage. The condition causes you to make sudden, repetitive sounds or movements and while there is no cure, treatment can help manage the tics, according to the NHS website. Introducing Survive at the festival, Capaldi became visibly emotional as he said: 'The last two years haven't been the best for me, it's been difficult at times... This has been my f****** goal, to get back here." Speaking to Official Charts, Capaldi thanked fans who had streamed and downloaded Survive, saying 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," he said. "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." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Oasis fans 'sob' as Noel Gallagher does something he 'never does' at first gig
Liam and Noel Gallagher reunited onstage last night after 16 years to kick off their tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, as the pair put their differences aside and ended their long feud Oasis fans were left in floods of tears after witnessing Noel Gallagher display a level of emotion not seen in years. The legendary Liam and Noel Gallagher shared the stage last night for the first time in 16 years, kicking off their tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. The event saw more than 70,000 fans gather to witness the historic moment as Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, showed that they've buried the hatchet, ending their notorious long-standing feud. The emotional reunion was eagerly anticipated by Oasis fans, with many moved to tears, including one of the band members themselves. Noel was spotted wiping away tears during the performance, visibly moved as he held hands with his younger sibling. Fans were deeply affected by the sight of the Manchester-born brothers reuniting on stage after Oasis split up in 2009. Many were particularly touched by Noel's show of vulnerability – a side he's not often revealed. One fan posted a photo on X of the two brothers hand in hand on stage, commenting: "Noel was crying on stage. I can't do this, I'm sobbing." Another fan reflected: "Never during this 30 years I've ever seen Noel so emotional and I still can't stop thinking about this and feeling the same." A third chimed in: "I'm sorry I really can't get over Noel crying... this band meant everything to him. It was his baby. "I can't even imagine what it felt like to walk out on that stage 16 years later reunited with his brother to bring those songs back to life. Now I'm crying." A fourth fan echoed: "Oasis is his baby. I bet it hit hard right before the walk-out. Such a great photo and moment." One fortunate concert-goer who saw the performance at the venue shared: "That was everything I was hoping for and more! The best gig I've ever been to in my life." Another X user remarked: "THIS is what they've been really do need each other." Oasis fans were delighted with a setlist packed with Oasis classics, especially tracks from the 1990s, including Wonderwall, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Champagne Supernova and Slide Away – though some grumbled about one notable absence from the lineup. Oasis also earned praise from football supporters for their sincere tribute to Liverpool star Diogo Jota who sadly died in a car accident this week. The group honoured their 1994 anthem Live Forever to Jota by projecting a massive image of the back of Jota's Liverpool shirt on stage at the Principality Stadium. Many also commended the duo's vocals, acknowledging that the pair still "sounded amazing" despite how long its been. Tickets for the first Cardiff performance were being resold for more than £3,500 just hours before the show as supporters were desperate to witness the rock legends' comeback. The Oasis Live '25 global tour will see the band perform across Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Toronto, USA, Japan, Australia before wrapping up in São Paulo, Brazil on November 23.
