Lewis Capaldi shocked diners in London when he performed a surprise live gig featuring his biggest hits.
The Scottish singer-songwriter captivated onlookers as he rocked up for an unannounced concert at Seven Dials Market in Covent Garden on Saturday.
The chart-topping music star, 23, was accompanied by his keyboard player for the 30-minute set, during which he played songs including Bruises and his recent number one single Before You Go.
Capaldi’s impromptu gig ended with a finale of his breakthrough single Someone You Loved as more than 500 diners and shoppers sang the chorus back to him.
The concert was announced minutes before he appeared on the market hall’s balcony.
Speaking before the concert, Capaldi said that he would be OK if nobody stopped to watch his show.
