Lewis Capaldi's cancels US show over family emergency in touring crew

Lewis Capaldi has issued a heartfelt apology as he has been forced to cancel a US show due to a 'family emergency' in the touring crew.

The West Lothian star took to social media to issue the announcement while apologising to his fans in Portland. He explained that he'd been forced to pull the plug on the gig despite it being the "last thing" he wanted to do.

Lewis, 26, told his 6.5 million Instagram followers: "Portland I'm absolutely heartbroken to have to do this but I'm going to have to cancel the show tomorrow due to a family emergency within the touring party making it no longer possible for the show to go ahead.

"I'm so so so sorry to have to do this and as always cancelling a show is the absolute last thing I want to do but under the circumstances, it's the only option."

The How I'm Feeling Now singer reassured his fans that all tickets purchased will be automatically refunded and that the tour will continue "as normal" this coming Sunday at the Greek theatre in Berkeley, California.

This comes as Lewis celebrated his fifth UK number-one single with his latest hit Wish You The Best, from his new album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, which will be released on May 19.

The singing sensation from Bathgate is currently on a huge sold-out world tour and is making his way across the US. He will return to Edinburgh to play at the Royal Highland Showground on August 30 and September 1.
