Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi has been making headlines recently with his latest single “Wish You The Best,” which has topped the UK singles chart (Billboard). This marks the fifth number one single for the chart-topping artist. To celebrate the song’s success, Capaldi dressed up as iconic wrestler Booker T, an image that went viral on social media (NME).
Capaldi is known for his emotional ballads and personal songwriting, but his life has not been without tragedy. His mother recently broke down in tears while discussing the suicide of Capaldi’s sister (PKBnews.in). However, his music has brought comfort to many, and he was recently seen performing “Wish You The Best” for loved ones reuniting at Heathrow Airport in London (Glasgow World).
Capaldi’s success has not come without its challenges, as he has struggled with mental health during his rise to fame. A new Netflix documentary about the singer, titled “Lewis Capaldi: Someone You Loved,” explores the impact of his sudden success on his mental health (The Toronto Star). Despite these struggles, Capaldi remains focused on his music, and is set to perform at the 2023 Capital Summertime Ball in London alongside the Jonas Brothers, Anne-Marie, and Tom Grennan, among others (Yahoo).
After achieving his sixth number one single with “Wish You The Best,” Capaldi’s fans eagerly anticipate his upcoming album, which the artist has described as a new creative direction (Big Top 40). Capaldi’s continued success and his emotional honesty in his music have made him a rising star in the industry, with a dedicated following eager for what he has to offer next.
