Lewis Capaldi says he suffers from imposter syndrome in new Netflix documentary
After reading the letter aloud, Lewis admitted that Elton's words were "nice to hear and stuff" but that he "obviously still feels a bit like an imposter".
"I don’t think it’s ever going to go away, the whole thing of, 'Why am I here?'" he added.
Speaking of the upcoming awards, he said: "I’ll go there today and be like, 'What the f**k am I doing here?' For sure."
He then explains that people have imposter syndrome at all levels, adding: "That bleeds into every single decision you make and everything you do.
"For me, it’s always just seemed quite alien, people that turn up and see me live and see me play, I love the fact that people do get to give a f**k and listen to my music,"
Lewis said that he doesn't know why people come to see him perform but said: "I f**king can’t thank people enough.
"I love you but I will never understand you, that’s what I’m trying to say to you all at home, yeah, I just don’t get it."
Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now is available to stream from Netflix.
