Lewis Capaldi has revealed that he was ghosted by a huge celebrity as he opened up on the embarrassing snub. The Someone You Loved hitmaker spoke out about his night out with global superstar Justin Bieber at a star-studded bash but said that the Love Yourself singer ignored him the next day.


The Scots megastar, 28, explained that he and Bieber had exchanged numbers after meeting on the night out but after dropping him a message the following day, Lewis was left with no response. Chatting to Chris Stark on Capital Breakfast, Before You Go singer Lewis revealed: “It was amazing, there was famous people, Charli xcx was there, Justin Bieber was there.


“Justin Bieber comes over and said ‘hey man, what’s going on?’ And I said, ‘you don’t remember my name?’ And he said, ‘of course I do, you’re Lewis Capaldi'. Me and Bieber had this super night together, like really lovely evening together. We didn’t spend the night together, but we hung out and I’m like 'me and the Biebs are gonna be best pals, this is huge'."


However, things did not go as planned for Lewis as he continued: “And he’s like ‘man make sure I get your number tomorrow’. And I was like ‘me and the Biebs, this is huge'.

“I text him maybe the most sucking up his a*** text. I said, ‘Just wanted to jump on bro, last night was so special, great guy, so nice to hang out with you, such a dude'.


“He likes it and doesn’t reply. So if you’re out there Bieber, wherever you are, text me back please. Bieber aired me.”

Capaldi returned to the spotlight earlier this summer with his surprise comeback to Glastonbury which came two years after his emotional breakdown on the very same stage, The Sun reports.


The musician, who has Tourette's Syndrome, took a two-year break from the limelight after his 2023 Glastonbury performance saw him unable to carry on with the audience carrying on his songs for him.

He made an iconic return to the Pyramid Stage in June with crowds of over 100,000 people chanting his name.

Capaldi told fans his two years off had been “difficult” but admitted he had unfinished business to resolve at Glastonbury.


He said: "Glastonbury, it's so good to be back. I'm not gonna say much up here today because if I do, I think I'll probably start crying.

"But I said it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me.”

Making light of his 2023 performance, which he was forced to cut short at the time, he said: "Second time's a charm on this one, everybody.

"It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish the first time.”

Lewis played for 35 minutes in the surprise set slot, belting out some of his most famous tracks including Before You Go and Hold Me While You Wait.
