Lewis Capaldi at BST Hyde Park: An absolute blast
There was more confidence in his performance too. At previous gigs, Capaldi’s used humour as a crutch but there were no rambling speeches about haemorrhoids or bodily functions on Sunday night. The many parents who’d brought their kids must have been relieved. He still made jokes about England’s recent world cup success (“the less said about that the better, I’m a bitter, bitter man) and how the crowd were “fools” for paying to see him live, but there was a refreshed trust that his music was enough to carry the show. “I just want to say, there was a point where I didn’t think this would ever be possible again but we’re here and I’m having a great time, so thank you. It’s a really special” he told the crowd. “Having said that, this is a song about my death,” he added with a smirk before the absolutely devastating ‘The Day That I Die’. After an uncertain few years, the future is bright for one of the UK’s biggest pop stars.
