Lewis Capaldi invites surprised fan to duet with him on stage at intimate Bristol gig

Lewis Capaldi invited a lucky fan on stage for a surprise duet when he performed an intimate gig on Wednesday (24 May) at the Marble Factory in Bristol.

Yasmine Kabbara-Dolby, 17, had taken in a banner to the concert asking to sing with the international star and to the audience’s surprise, he agreed. She joined him on stage to perform Someone You Loved and received a hug at the end of the session.

The Scottish musician has played two sell-out shows at The Marble Factory to promote his new album Broken by Desire to be Heavenly Sent, which is predicted to be number one by Friday and one of the best selling albums of 2023.

During the concert, which is one of few low key appearances for Capaldi before his tours and major summer festivals such as Glastonbury and Reading, he played three songs and took part in a Q&A session. As well as Someone You Loved, he also sang Wish You The Best and The Pretender.

Our sister title BristolWorld reports that many fans were emotional at seeing him in such close range, and that he talked about his new album, his parents and the time he kissed Harry Styles. He also talked about his mental health and his Tourette’s Syndrome. At the end of the show, Capaldi told fans: ‘You mean the world to me and even though I’ve enjoyed big success with the albums, I don’t take it for granted’.
