Lewis Capaldi was left in shock this evening after a fan in the crowd at Utilita Arena in Birmingham disrupted his performance.
The Scottish star was in Birmingham tonight, Tuesday, September 23 for the first of a two-date run at Utilita Arena.
He was in the middle of performing 2019 hit Forever when a member of the crowd threw an ‘unsavoury’ item on stage.

A fan hurled a bundle at the star who unravelled it to reveal a t-shirt with an X-rated slogan and a sketch of a rudimentary phallic symbol. The pen scrawl read: “Show me your d*ck.”
Lewis said: “Can you imagine if I got my c*** out on stage? I’d be locked up. I’ll treasure that. Later, maybe…”
The star, who had yet to acknowledge the crowd but for a quick: “How are you getting on?” seemed resigned to getting such gifts. He is known for his silly sense of humour, it’s what many fans love about him.

It’s not encouraged to throw items on stage at music concerts. Stars like Billie Eilish have had frightening experiences where missiles have hit them during their performances.
But Lewis was in good spirits, and launched into a performance of Wish You The Best, much to the delight of fans.
Lewis Capaldi’s arena tour continues with a second night at Utilita Arena on Wednesday, September 24.
Stay tuned for a full review of Lewis Capaldi in Birmingham later tonight.
