Lewis Capaldi forced to stop concert due to fight ahead of Glasgow gig

During his concert last night (January 18), Lewis Capaldi was forced to take a pause after a fight broke out between gig-goers.

On the stage at Manchester's AO Arena, the Forget Me singer stopped his show after spotting the altercation.

In video footage uploaded to social media, Capaldi, who has just secured another number one single, Pointless, is seen holding up his hands and soon the lights come on for security to intervene.

He is then heard saying: "They are scrapping in the crowd there. Erm, we are going to have to get them out."

Understandably, people were not happy that others were ruining their experience and causing the show to temporarily stop . And as the '"boos" echoed around the arena, the 26-year-old said "we can't be fighting" adding "What a weird song to fight to. Bizarre, bizarre."

The crowd then begin to shout for the singer chanting "Oh Lewis Capaldi" and he started to sign the song again.

The fight happened during his performance of Hold Me While You Wait, a single from his debut album that reached number four in the UK charts.

One fan who attended the concert told MEN "I couldn’t see the fight itself with the area being full, but Lewis Capaldi stopped the song and lit the area up in order for security to get to the fight.

"He started the song again after taking the mick out of them for fighting. He started saying it was daft how anyone could fight to that song."

Lewis Capaldi will come to Glasgow on January 24.
